   **Ingredients**

   1 Refrigerated Pie Crust

   1-½ Cups Pecans, chopped

   4 Tablespoons Butter, unsalted

   1 Cup Light Brown Sugar

   1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

   ¼ Teaspoon Nutmeg

   ¾ Cup Corn Syrup

   1 Tablespoons Vanilla Extract

   3 Large Eggs

   **Instructions**

   Preheat oven to 350°F.

   Arrange the crust in a glass/ceramic pie dish (9″) then place in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest.

   In a pot heat the butter, sugar, vanilla and corn syrup until the sugar is melted.

   In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the cinnamon and nutmeg.

   Allow the sugar mixture to cool slightly before adding the egg mixture, constantly stirring so that the egg doesn’t form.

   Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and add the chopped pecans evenly over the bottom (the pecans will rise to the top during cooking)

   Fill the pie crust with the butter/egg mixture.

   Bake for 50 minutes. If it looks like the edges of the crust are browning too fast use foil to cover.

   **Notes**

   This pie is our favorite recipe and is delicious even with a store bought pie crust (pie dough), but if you have your own pastry recipe feel free to use it. It’s perfect as a dessert at Thanksgiving dinner, it’s right up there alongside a pumpkin pie and apple pie.

   I found using a glass/ceramic dish to yield best results.

   Crunchy pecans work the best in this classic pecan pie… make sure yours are fresh.

   You could use a light corn syrup if you prefer, or I’ve also heard people use pure maple syrup too.

   Grab yourself a large bowl and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the best taste!

   A bit of trivia…. did you know that Pecan Pie goes as far back as the late 1800s?
