Ingredients

• 1 

  whole unbaked pie crust

• 1 c. 

  white sugar

• 3 tbsp. 

  brown sugar

• 1/2 tsp. 

  salt

• 1 c. 

  corn syrup

• 3/4 tsp. 

  vanilla

• 1/3 c. 

  melted butter (salted)

• 3 

  whole eggs, beaten

• 1 c. 

  (heaping) chopped pecans

• Directions

  • 1. 1First, whip up your pie crust.
    2. 2Preheat the oven to 350˚. Next, mix the sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl. 
    3. 3Pour the chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell. 
    4. 4Pour the syrup mixture over the top. Cover top and crust lightly/gently with foil. Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Remove the 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!
    5. 5Allow to cool for several hours or overnight. Serve in thin slivers.
