PIONEER WOMAN'S PECAN PIE

PIONEER WOMAN'S PECAN PIE
Very yummy!!! This is so easy to make and everyone loves it!  Have made it for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Also made it for Kyle's birthday (2017).

1 whole unbaked pie crust (like to use Mom's recipe)
1 cup white sugar
3 T brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup corn syrup
3/4 tsp vanilla
1/3 cups melted butter (recipe calls for salted, but I always use unsalted)
3 whole eggs, beaten
1 cup (heaping) chopped pecans

Prepare pie crust (Pioneer Woman suggests "Sylvia's Perfect Pie Crust found on Tasty Kitchen).

Mix sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, eggs and vanilla together in a bowl.

Pour chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.

Pour syrup mixture over the top.  Cover top and crust lightly/gently with foil. 

Bake pie at 350 for 30 minutes.  Remove foil, then continue baking for 20 minutes, being careful not to burn the crust or pecans.

NOTE: PIE SHOULD NOT BE OVERLY JIGGLY WHEN YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE OVEN.  

If it shakes a lot, cover with foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until set.  

Required baking time seems to vary widely with this recipe. Allow to cool for several hours or overnight.
