Description

Ingredients

• 9 inch frozen premade pie shell
• 2 cups halved pecans
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tbsp molasses
• ½ stick (4 tbsp) butter, melted
• pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a bowl combine all ingredients other than pie crust and pecans and mix with a whisk until blended. (Helpful hint-spray your measuring spoon with nonstick spray before measuring out molasses-it will slide of the spoon much easier!)
• Spread the pecans in the pie shell, reserving about ½ cup if youd like to create a particular design on the top of your pie.
• Pour the mixture over the pecans. I normally spiral the reserved pecans along the top of the pie to make a picture-friendly design but its not necessary. If you do it make sure to use a spoon to spoon topping over the nuts you add on top so they are coated, dont just set them on the top dry!
• Bake for one hour on middle rack. If crust starts too look too browned tent the pie with foil.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before serving.
