🧂 Ingredients

1 Adjust your oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees
F. Place a baking sheet in the oven while preheating.
2 In a medium bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly using a fork until well mixed.
3 Add the sugar and light corn syrup to the eggs, stirring until fully combined.
4 Mix in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans until everything
is well blended.
5 Carefully pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
6 Optional: Arrange pecan halves on top of the filling in concentric circles for a
decorative touch, gently pressing them into the filling.
7 Place the pie on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes. After
the first 20 minutes, check the edges and the top of the pie if using pecan
halves. If browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil or a pie shield and
tent the center with a foil circle to prevent burning.
8 The pie is done when the center has a slight jiggle but the edges are set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
9 Enjoy with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
