Pioneer Pecan Pie

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare the Pie Crust:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.

Prepare the Filling:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
2. Stir in the pecan halves until evenly coated with the filling mixture.

Assemble and Bake the Pie:

1. Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
2. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips during baking.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
4. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
5. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving.

Serve and Enjoy:

1. Once cooled, slice the pioneer pecan pie into wedges and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
2. Enjoy the classic flavors and comforting warmth of this Southern dessert, perfect for any occasion.
