Makes 1 Pumpkin Pecan Pie
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 60 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 unbaked pie shell, or a single crust pie dough recipe formed in a pie pan
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin purée or canned pumpkin
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- whipped cream, for garnish
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the pumpkin, sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, and blend well. Pour mixture into the pie shell, and sprinkle pecans over the top.
Bake for 55 minutes and then test for doneness every 5 minutes — first by visually checking that the filling is set (doesn’t jiggle in the center) and then, when it’s set, by inserting a thin knife into the pie; the knife should come out clean when the pie is done.
Cool the pie, then chill it; serve pie slices with dollops of whipped cream.
