Easy Pecan Pie

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 0.333 cup salted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cup light corn syrup
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 3 eggs (large)
• 1.5 cup pecan halves or pieces
• 1 Pillsbury™ Deep Dish Pie Crust (from 1 package (12 oz) frozen crusts)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat oven to 375°F, 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.)

11. 11

    After 30 minutes, refrigerate the pie, uncovered, for at least 2 hours until chilled before serving.

Notes

Do not put a hot pie directly into the refrigerator as it can cause moisture to form on the top. Ensure the pie chills for at least 2 hours to set properly.
