Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14 oz package of refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Crust: Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 13x18-inch rimmed baking sheet. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until it’s well combined.
  4. Add the Pecans: Fold in the pecan halves gently, making sure they’re evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
  6. Cool and Slice: Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature!
