Baking My Favorite Pie- Pecan Pie
So, last week I baked my first pie ever and it turned out pretty well! My husband loved it and I made peach pie for my mother-in-law's birthday and she liked it! So I got inspired to bake some more pies and I thought about my favorite pie which is pecan pie. I gathered all ingredients I needed from my nearest grocery store and researched about how to make pecan pie and see if I can make my own version of it. So today I am baking pecan pie and hopefully when my husband comes home from work, it's done and ready for him.
So here are my own ingredients for Pecan Pie
Filling:
I cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup light corn syrup
3 large eggs
2/3 stick melted butter
Crust:
pie crust dough sheets
-Pre - heat oven to 350 degrees
-Mix all ingredients together starting with sugar, salt, vanilla extract, corn syrup and eggs. Mix together until incorporated and then stir in melted butter.
-Set the crust on your pie dish
-Spread the pecan halves over it
-Cover the pie lightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes and remove foil and bake again for another 25-30 minutes
-Let sit for 2 hours
You can add some whip cream on top of it too!
