Ingredients

To create your own Caramel Pecan Pie, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 prepared pie crust
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get started with the preparation:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk the mixture until it’s well combined.
  3. Add the pecan halves to the filling mixture and stir gently to coat them evenly.
  4. Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading the pecans out evenly.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the pie is set and the pecans are golden brown. You may cover the edges of the pie crust with foil for the last 15 minutes to prevent over-browning.
  6. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Serve this decadent Caramel Pecan Pie with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an even more delightful experience. Whether it’s a family gathering, a holiday feast, or simply a weekend treat, this pie brings a comforting sweetness that is irresistible. Enjoy every bite!
