Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prepare the Pie Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
Prepare the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the pecan halves until evenly coated with the filling mixture.
Assemble and Bake the Pie:
- Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooled, slice the pioneer pecan pie into wedges and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Enjoy the classic flavors and comforting warmth of this Southern dessert, perfect for any occasion.
