The Pie That Will Make You Cry

I got to make the pies for Thanksgiving this year.  We ended up making 18 pies.  One of the requests this year was pecan pie.  I am not a huge fan so I haven't really made it a whole lot.  I found this recipe and it was delicious.  I only make two pies, but could have easily gone through 3 or 4.  Everyone was hiding their pieces until they had room to eat them.

From The Pioneer Woman Cooks

1 whole 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

Preparation Instructions

First, whip up your pie crust.  Next, mix sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl. Pour chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.  Pour syrup mixture over the top. Cover top and crust lightly/gently with foil. Bake pie at 350º for 30 minutes. Remove foil, then continue baking for 20 minutes, being careful not to burn the crust or pecans. NOTE: PIE SHOULD NOT BE OVERLY JIGGLY WHEN YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE OVEN. If it shakes a lot, cover with foil and bake for an additional 20 minute or until set. Required baking time seems to vary widely with this recipe. Sometimes it takes 50 minutes; sometimes it takes 75!



Allow to cool for several hours or overnight. Serve in thin slivers
