Easy Pecan Pie

Steps

1. 1

   Heat oven to 375°F (190 °C), and place a cookie sheet on the middle rack to preheat. This helps ensure even heat distribution and allows the bottom of your pie to bake quickly and evenly.

2. 2

   In medium bowl, beat brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, salt, and eggs with a whisk until well blended and mixture is smooth.

3. 3

   Stir in pecans.

4. 4

   Pour the filling into the frozen pie crust using a spatula to evenly spread the pecans.

5. 5

   Place the pie on the preheated cookie sheet; carefully place both in the oven.

6. 6

   Bake the pie for 15 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven. Cover the edge of the crust with foil to prevent excessive browning.

8. 8

   Continue baking for 30 to 40 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned and the center is slightly jiggly. Gently shake the pan; the center should still have a slight jiggle.

9. 9

   Place pie on cooling rack and remove foil strips.

10. 10

    Cool the pie on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. (A hot pie should not be put directly into the refrigerator since this can cause moisture to form on the top of the pie.)
