Texas Pecan Pie

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/3 cups pecan pieces
  • Unbaked 9-inch pie shell
Preheat oven to 450°F.

Mix together the butter, eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Blend in pecans. Pour into pie shell.

Bake 10 minutes at 450°F; then lower heat to 350°F and bake an additional 40 to 45 minutes.


Note: You can use pecan halves arranged in an attractive pattern for the top layer if you like, but people will remember this pie more for its taste than its looks.
