Ingredients

For the crust

  • 3 cups all purpose flour I used King Arthur unbleached
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 8 tablespoons ice water

For the filling

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1 cup dark corn syrup
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

For the crust

  • Place all purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt in food processor. Close lid and pulse a few times to mix together. 
  • With the food processor on, gradually add the cold, cubed butter. Once all the butter is mixed in, pour in ice cold water. Pulse until a dough forms and turn off the processor.
  • Roll out half of the dough on a lightly floured surface to create a 12-inch disk, about ⅛" thick. (Reserve the other half for future use.) Gently lift the pie dough on to your 9 inch pan pan. Press down with your hands in the middle and up the sides of the pan. Use a fork to press down all around the edge. Then use fork to poke holes at the bottom and sides of crust. Set aside.

For the filling

  • Pour the dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla into a medium sized mixing bowl. Mix all the ingredients together until combined.
  • Stir in the chopped pecans. Once combined, pour pecan pie mixture into the pie crust. Use pecan halves to decorate the top of the pie. Make it look pretty by placing the pecans in a decorative pattern.
  • Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Let completely cool before slicing. When cooled, slice into it and enjoy your baked pie!
