Fluffy & Creamy Pecan Pie

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
4. Stir in the pecan halves, reserving a few for decorating the top if desired.
5. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
6. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Check after 40 minutes and cover the edges of the crust with foil if they brown too quickly.
7. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely before serving.
8. Optional: Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
