This recipe has been in our family for years and we love it. I hope you will too!
Ingredients
  • (1) 9 inch deep dish pie shell
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 C. light brown sugar
  • 1 C. light corn syrup
  • 1-1/4 C. pecan halves
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Beat eggs and brown sugar until thick with a hand mixer.
  2. Add corn syrup, 1 C. nuts, and vanilla.
  3. Pour into pie shell and sprinkle with extra pecans on top.
  4. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Check on the pie at around 45 minutes. If it is already browned well, you may need to cover it with foil while it continues baking.
Notes
My family likes a gooey pie, so keep that in mind with the baking time I have listed. If you would prefer it be less runny, then continue baking until the middle seems to be set and is no longer jiggly. If it does not appear set at the 1 hour mark, then cover the pie with foil and continue baking in 20 minute increments.
