Ingredients
  

  • 1 unbaked pie crust
  • 3 eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Go ahead and make your pie crust if you are making it from scratch.
  • Melt the butter either in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave or on the stovetop and set it aside to cool.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk by hand.
  • Add sugar and light corn syrup to the eggs and stir well.

  • Stir it all to combine well.
  • Pour the pie mixture into the unbaked pie shell.

  • Then reduce the over to 350 degrees and continue to bake for another 30-35 mimnutes, until the middle of the pie is no longer jiggly.
  • Serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I use a frozen deep dish pie crust for my pies, but you could absolutely make your own and bake this in your favorite pie plate.
  • I prefer to chop the pecans in my pecan pie, but halves are good, too!
  • This pie is wonderful with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!
  • Add 1/4 a cup of chocolate chips to the pie filling to make it a chocolate pecan pie.
