This pecan pie recipe adds a delightful twist to the traditional favorite, making it a perfect dessert for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and stir in the brown sugar until smooth.
Stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Then, whisk in the eggs, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Adding the eggs to a slightly cooled mixture prevents them from cooking prematurely.
Stir in the pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Use fresh pecans for the best flavor and texture.
Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Check the pie halfway through baking and cover the edges with foil if they are browning too quickly.
Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Cooling helps the filling set properly for clean slices.
