PECAN PIE

serves 8

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup of dark brown sugar
• 1 cup of light corn syrup
• 4 tablespoons of butter - melted
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups of pecans (6 ounces)
• 1 frozen pie crust (9 inch)

Preheat Oven to 350 F. degrees

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a fork or a whisk.

Add brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract and mix until blended. Stir in pecans.

Set pie crust on a baking sheet with sides. Pour pecan filling into pre-made frozen pie crust. Cover edges of pie crust with a ring of tin foil.

Bake 40-45 minutes or until pie is set. A knife inserted into the pie 2 inches from the crust should come out clean.  (An instant read thermometer should reach 200 F. degrees.)

Cool the pie on a wire rack.

Enjoy!
