Easy Pecan Pie Recipe for Beginners

Pecan Pie

Pecan pie is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a relatively easy pie to make, even for beginners. Here is a simple recipe that is sure to please.

Ingredients

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Stir in the pecan halves.
  5. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  7. Let cool completely before serving.

Tips

  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you don't have a 9-inch pie plate, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Pecan pie can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Enjoy!

Additional Tips

  • Use a high-quality pie crust. A good pie crust will make a big difference in the final product.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. An underbaked pie will be runny, and an overbaked pie will be dry.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the pie set and prevent it from falling apart.

With these tips, you'll be sure to make an easy pecan pie that is delicious and perfect for any occasion!
