Kacper absolutely loves Pecan Pies and wants to eat it every time he has an opportunity. I also really like it! Besides the yummy and sweet taste it also reminds me of one of my favourite book series: The Southern Vampire Mysteries (True Blood source material) where Sookie eats her grandmother's pecan pie after she died and savours every moment with it. This pie turned out to be amazing and we were so eager to dig into it, I didn't even had a chance to make a photo of a whole pie!
Ingredients:
1 Pre-Made Pie Crust, fitted in a 9” pie plate
1 cup of Light Corn Syrup
½ cup of Brown Sugar
½ cup of Granulated Sugar
1 ¼ cups of Chopped Pecans
1 1/2 Tbsp of Corn Starch
1 Tsp of Vanilla Extract
3 Eggs
½ tsp of Salt
1/3 cup of Unsalted Butter, melted
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 180 C. Place your pie plate on top of a large baking sheet and set aside.
Scatter the pecans in the bottom of your pie crust.
In a large bowl, whisk together all the remaining ingredients and pour the batter over the chopped pecans. You can decorate the pie, by gently placing whole pecans on top.
Cover the pie gently with some foil and bake it for 30 minutes.
Uncover and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes or until it’s no longer
super jiggly in the center - we baked it for 30 minutes with foil and 40 minutes without foil.
Allow it to cool completely before serving (the hardest part!).
