Ingredients:
Pie dough, recipe follows, or 1 store-bought pie crust.2 oz (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp salt
2 cups pecan pieces
1½ tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
Procedure:
Preheat oven to 350º F. Roll out pie crust on a well-floured surface to a circle slightly larger than pie tin. Transfer into pie tin. Trim dough so that there is about 1 inch of overhang. Fold the edge under and crimp. Using a fork, dock the crust all over. Line crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges start to golden. Remove pie weights and parchment, and continue to bake for another 5-10 minutes. Set aside while making pie filling.
Filling Procedure:
Combine melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and salt. Add eggs, whisking until combined. Fold in pecan pieces. Pour into the baked crust, and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the center is still slightly loose.
Pie Dough Ingredients: :
Yield: dough for 1 pie
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp sugar
pinch salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, diced
