1 Video | Photo: Pecan Pie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
- 3 whole eggs, beaten
- 3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1 whole unbaked pie crust
- Whipped cream
- Whiskey Maple Cream Sauce, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix the white sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl. Pour the chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.
Pour the syrup mixture over the top. Bake the pie until it's no longer loose and jiggly, 1 hour 10 minutes, being careful not to burn pecans and crust. (Cover with foil for part of the baking time if it browns too quickly).
Allow to cool for several hours or overnight. Serve in thin slivers with freshly whipped cream. Serve with a drizzle of cold Whiskey Maple Cream Sauce.

This was absolutely delicious! I made mini tarts though, not a big pie, and used homemade pastry. Didn't make the whiskey sauce either. Really was soooo good.

Melts on your mouth!! It was my first time making pecan pie. I recently tasted my friend's pie and it was amazing, so I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could make one just as yummy for Easter.
This recipe definitely allowed me to do so! In fact, my family loved it so much (they devoured two of them in a half hour!, I think I may have outdone my pal! I did end up baking it just a bit longer than the video suggested (closer to the written recipe on this site: I covered it with foil for 40 mins and uncovered for about 25-30 mins (otherwise it would've been a little runny. It came out wonderfully. You know it's done when you jiggle the pan a bit and the filling is just a bit loose in the center. It'll set as it cools.
Oh!! And the whiskey sauce... mmm... the sauce just topped it off! Wasn't an overpowering whiskey taste at all. This recipe was a hit for everyone! Even the super picky people!
