Preheat and Prepare:
Related Articles
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure your oven rack is positioned in the center of the oven.
- Gather all your ingredients: eggs, butter, sugar, vanilla extract, pecans, and an unbaked pie crust.
Mix the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Fill the Pie Crust:
- Take your unbaked pie crust and carefully pour the filling into it. Spread the filling evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Arrange the Pecans:
- Now, it’s time to add the star of the show – the pecans! Arrange the pecan halves or chopped pecans on top of the filling in a decorative pattern. This not only adds flavor but also makes your pie look stunning.
Bake to Perfection:
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 55 minutes. Keep an eye on it towards the end. The filling should be set, with a slight jiggle in the center when gently shaken.
Cool and Serve:
- Once the pie is baked to a beautiful golden brown and the filling is set, remove it from the oven.
- Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack. This helps the filling to set even further.
Enjoy!:
- Your Pecan Pie is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it at room temperature for that classic pecan pie experience.
- For an extra indulgent treat, add a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top before serving.
