Rudy’s Recipe: Pioneer Woman’s Pecan Pie

I know this isn’t a camping recipe, but it’s one that I love. I’ve shared the pie here at the office and no one has complained yet. 🙂 I found this recipe on The Pioneer Woman’s website a few months ago.

Pioneer Woman’s Pecan Pie
 

You Need:

• 1 whole Unbaked Pie Crust (I use this recipe; it’s my favorite)
• 1 cup White Sugar
• 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Corn Syrup
• 3/4 teaspoons Vanilla
• 1/3 cup Melted Butter (salted)
• 3 whole Eggs, Beaten
• 1 cup (heaping) Chopped Pecans

Make It:

First make your pie crust. I use my favorite pie crust recipe.

Next, mix sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl.

Pour chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.

Pour syrup mixture over the top. Cover top and crust lightly/gently with foil. Bake pie at 350º for 30 minutes. Remove foil, then continue baking for 20 minutes, being careful not to burn the crust or pecans.

NOTE: PIE SHOULD NOT BE OVERLY JIGGLY WHEN YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE OVEN. If it shakes a lot, cover with foil and bake for an additional 20 minute or until set. Required baking time seems to vary widely with this recipe. Sometimes it takes 50 minutes; sometimes it takes 75!

Allow to cool for several hours or overnight.
