Ingredients
To make the Pioneer Woman's pecan pie, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 unbaked pie crust
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 cup corn syrup
- ¾ teaspoons vanilla
- ⅓ cups melted butter (salted)
- 3 whole eggs beaten
- 1 cup (heaping) chopped pecans
Instructions
Here's how to make the Pioneer Woman's pecan pie:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the white sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, vanilla, melted butter, and beaten eggs until well combined.
- Spread the chopped pecans evenly over the bottom of the unbaked pie crust.
- Pour the syrup mixture over the pecans, being careful not to overflow the crust.
- Bake the pie for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
Tips for Making the Perfect Pecan Pie
Here are a few tips to ensure that your Pioneer Woman pecan pie turns out perfectly:
- Use a glass or ceramic pie dish to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
- Don't overmix the filling. Mix until just combined to avoid incorporating too much air into the mixture, which can lead to a cracked pie.
- Be careful not to overbake the pie. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center when you take it out of the oven. It will continue to cook and set as it cools.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing. This will allow the filling to set and make for cleaner slices.
- Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat.
Conclusion
The Pioneer Woman's pecan pie recipe is a must-try for anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth. With its gooey filling and nutty flavor, it's sure to become a holiday favorite. So go ahead and give it a try – you won't be disappointed!
