Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking your delicious pecan pie.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend together the margarine, sugar, corn syrup, and flour until smooth and well combined. This forms the rich, sweet base of the filling.
- Add the eggs, salt, and vanilla extract to the mixture and whisk together until everything is fully incorporated, creating a creamy consistency.
- Carefully pour the filling into your pie shell, spreading it evenly. A prepared, unbaked pie crust works best to hold the sweet filling.
- Top the pie with broken pecan pieces, spreading them evenly over the surface to ensure a crunchy bite in every slice.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake at 425°F for about 3 to 4 minutes.
- After 3-4 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C). This allows the filling to set perfectly without burning.
- Bake for an additional 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center of the pie is firm and fully set, and the top is golden brown. The pie will continue to firm up as it cools.
Once done, allow the pie to cool before slicing to let the flavors set. Serve it warm or at room temperature for a comforting dessert that pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Enjoy every bite of Granny’s Pecan Pie – the perfect dessert to share with family and friends!
