Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • cup butter melted
  • ¾ cup light corn syrup
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups pecans; halved or pieces
  • Recipe for one pie crust

Instructions

  • Prepare the pie crust by pressing the dough onto the bottom and sides of pie pan.  Bake for 10 minutes in a 375 degree preheated oven.  The crust will not be fully baked as it will go back into the oven with the pie filling.
  • For the Pie Filling
  • In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and eggs using an electric mixer.
  • Once the mixture is combined, stir in the pecans.
  • Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie shell.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until the center is set.
  • If the pie crust edge is getting too brown,  cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  • Cool for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 2 hours until chilled before serving.
