Ingredients

• 2 and 1/2 cups (250g) coarsely chopped pecans (a very rough chop!)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup (240ml) dark corn syrup*
• 1/2 cup (100g) packed dark brown sugar
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Spread pecans evenly inside pie crust. Set aside. Whisk the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, melted butter, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Once completely combined and thick, pour evenly over pecans.
3. Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned. After the first 20 minutes of bake time, place a pie crust shield on top of the pie to prevent the edges from browning too quickly. You can also tent a piece of aluminum foil over the whole pie if it is browning too quickly. Remove finished pie from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. The pie filling will settle as it cools.
4. Slice and serve pie warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar if desired. Cover and store leftover pie at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
