Prep: 25 minutes
Total: 7 hours 25 minutes

Ingredients

Serves 8

  • 1/2 recipe (1 disk) Basic Pie Dough, rolled out and fitted into a 9-inch pie plate
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups pecan halves
  • Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. with rack set in lowest position.
  2. Using kitchen shears or a paring knife, trim dough to a 1-inch overhang. With floured fingers, fold overhang under itself to form a rim; pinch between thumb and forefinger to form a uniform edge around rim of pie plate. Crimp with fingertips. Transfer dough-lined pie plate to refrigerator.
