Easy Pecan Pie Recipe

 

I love to make Pecan Pies! They are such a delicious creation and I love the ooey-gooey filling they have. To me no other pie can compare to the fabulous taste of a Pecan Pie :-)! I normally get asked to make my Pecan Pie for family gathering for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everyone says how hard they are to make, and I am not sure if they have a hard recipe or what.. because I find they are simple to make!!

This recipe I have had for years, I can’t remember when I found it! I am pretty sure it was in one of my parent’s old recipe books! Their is no stove-top needed like some recipes call for! This is an easy pecan pie recipe, you pretty much dump all the ingredients in together, stir, then pour and pan and bake!! 




I am all about easy recipes that taste like they would take hours to bake!! This year for Thanksgiving I made two, one for us and then I gave one to my sister for her to take out and share with her husband’s side of the family dinner! She ended up texting that she loved the recipe!!!

So enough of this chitter-chatter and on to the recipe… shall we?!?

Simple Pecan Pie Recipe

Super Easy Pecan Pie Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup (I use the light colored one)
  • 2 tbs melted butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cup pecan halves
  • 1 deep dish pie crust (or you can choose to make own crust, just make sure it is a deep pan)

Instructions

  1. First off preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Then I tossed the eggs into my KitchenAid and turned on low, once they were somewhat beat I added in the sugar and the corn syrup.
  3. Once that is well incorporated add in the vanilla and salt and butter. Once that is well mixed I turn the mixer off. Toss in the nuts and stir with a spatula, so they don’t get too beat up from the blender.
  4. Pour the mix into your pie crust, and I always put aluminum foil around the crust, that way it doesn’t over-cook.
  5. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes. Then you will want to reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 35-40 minutes.
  6. You will want the pie to look nice golden brown and slightly puffy. Then cool on a cooling wrack and then wrap it up. I always put ours in the fridge until we are ready to eat it.

____________________________________________________

As you can see from the recipe, it is truly easy. When you pour out the mix into the pie pan, the nuts spread themselves over the pie. I always thought you would have to hand place them, but they do it all themselves!!

Pecan Pie

 

If you’re lucky enough to have a source of fresh pecans still in the shell (like we did when my sister lived in Austin), you will still have to shell them, which can be hard work! A nut cracker can make that a lot easier and quicker. It protects you from beat-up fingers too. This is a pretty cool option from NewFrog:

What is your favorite pie? I would say for me Pecan Pie and Cherry are pretty close tied for first place!! Also if you choose to make this pie, I would love for you to come back and share your thoughts on the recipe!!

Happy Baking! 

 

This delicious and easy pecan pie recipe is so simple that even a beginner can bake it! It makes the perfect Thanksgiving dessert, or go-to pie for any time of year.

      Yes it is pretty fool-proof!! The first time I ever made one it wasn’t easy cause I had to cook some ingredients on the stove turned into a mess, then I found this one and have used it since!!

  2. Katie says

    I put this together this morning and it looks good (haven’t tried it yet). One quick thing- the recipe called for butter but never said when to include it in the directions. I just dumped it with everything else, hoping it’s right!

    Yup! I am having denture surgery tomorrow at 8am and I was looking for the right cake/pie recipe to reward myself with after I heal. This is it! My favorite pie is pecan or sweet potato but I cannot leave out cheese cake lol. Oh this looks yummo but I have not been able to eat because of my teeth lol.
