Elle's Kitchen: Pecan Pie

Happy National Pie Day!

Today is National Pie Day, at least, that's

what I saw on facebook...  But since I like

pie, I'm taking advantage of this holiday

and making a pie.

Ingredients:

1 cup light corn syrup

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

2 tabl. butter, melted

1 teas. vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups pecans

1 unbaked 9'' deep dish pie crust

Preheat oven to 350F.  

Thoroughly stir together the first 

5 ingredients using a spoon.

Then mix in the pecans.

Pour into pie crust.  Bake on center rack of 

oven for 60 to 70 minutes. 

If pie crust is over-browning, cover edges with foil.

 Cool for 2 hours.  

Store pie in refrigerator (using a pie keeper is

 helpful to keep the pie from picking up any

odors from other foods.)

Pecan Pie is now my favorite pie.  I used to think

Pumpkin Pie was my favorite but now I find I

prefer to eat Pumpkin Bread.  I never made pecan

pie until a few years ago, we never made it in my

house growing up and I thought it would be difficult.

Oh how wrong I was, this is one of the simplest 

pies you can make!

Enjoy!
