Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 cup Karo Light or Dark Corn Syrup

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups (6 ounces) pecans

  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla together in a large bowl using a spoon; stir in pecans. Pour into pie crust.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes. The pie is done when the center reaches 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Tap the center surface of the pie lightly; it should spring back when done. If the pie crust is getting too brown, cover the edges with foil.

  4. Cool for 2 hours before serving.

Recipe Tips

For easy cleanup, spray the pie pan with cooking spray. To reduce calories, you can substitute Karo Lite Syrup.

To adjust for high altitude, reduce the sugar to 2/3 cup and increase the butter to 3 tablespoons. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
