I had planned to post this Pecan Pie recipe before Thanksgiving, but it just didn't happen! No matter... This pie is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas or anytime of year!

This particular pecan pie recipe is super easy and only has five ingredients (apart from the pie crust). If you're going to bake this in a glass dish like me, set the oven to 375º and just keep an eye on it until the pie is solid. If you're baking it in a metal pan, bake it at 350º.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup dark corn syrup
• 1/2 cup butter*

(If you want, you can cut this back to 1/3 cup, but I like to use 1/2 cup of butter. Also, I'm using salted butter. If you are using unsalted butter, you'll want to add a dash of salt to your recipe.)

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine all ingredients and bake at 350º for about 45-50 minutes or until pie is set. (If using a glass dish, set the temperature to 375º.)

Here is an Amazon associate link to the chopper I'm using in this video: https://amzn.to/3qKtKTl

I use the same one for chopping collards, fruit for jam, all kinds of things.
