Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie

Ingredients 

For the crust:

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 3–4 tbsp cold water

For the filling:

  • 1 ½ cups Sunbest Natural Pecans, chopped

  • 1 cup light corn syrup

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ¼ tsp salt


Instructions


1. Prepare the crust:
In a food processor, pulse flour, salt, and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, 1 tbsp at a time, until dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

3. Roll out crust:
On a floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer dough to the pan, trim edges, and crimp if desired.

4. Make the filling:
In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in chopped Sunbest Natural Pecans.

5. Fill and bake:
Pour filling into the prepared crust. Bake for 55–60 minutes or until filling is set and crust is golden. If crust edges brown too quickly, cover with foil.

6. Cool:
Allow pie to cool completely before slicing to let filling set.
