Description

This pecan pie filling recipe creates a perfectly gooey, deeply flavorful pie with rich maple and toasted pecan aromas. It is an easy, family-friendly approach to a bakery-quality classic, perfect for holidays or a simple treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups pecans, chopped or halves
  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prep Oven And Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Have your favorite 9-inch pie crust ready in a pie plate.
  2. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, gently melt the butter until fully liquid and warm.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir in the corn syrup, brown sugar, and salt until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Temper Eggs: In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs until just combined. Slowly drizzle about 0.5 cup of the warm sugar mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly and vigorously to prevent scrambling.
  5. Combine Mixture: Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining sugar mixture. Add the vanilla extract and stir until everything is well combined and uniform in color.
  6. Add Pecans: Fold in the pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the rich filling.
  7. Fill And Bake: Carefully pour the pecan pie filling into your prepared pie crust. Bake for 45-60 minutes (or about 55 minutes in most ovens), or until the edges are set and golden brown, and the center still has a slight, delicate jiggle.

Notes

Watch for a slight jiggly center to avoid overbaking. Temper eggs slowly and whisk constantly to prevent scrambling. Do not forget the salt, as it balances sweetness and enhances flavor. Store pecans in the freezer for optimal freshness. A store-bought pie crust can be used for convenience.
