Ingredients

1 9-inch single piecrust partially blind baked*
8 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 1 stick
¾ cup brown sugar
3 large eggs lightly beaten
½ cup dark corn syrup
½ cup Lyle's Golden Syrup See NOTES for substitute
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups pecans chopped, toasted in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes

Instructions

Prepare the pie dough and place it into the pie dish, crimping the edges with your fingers, if desired.
Pre-heat the oven to 375°F.
Over medium heat in a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until completely dissolved, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the light corn syrup, Lyles, vanilla, and salt and stir until fully combined.
Add the eggs to a medium-sized bowl and then pour in the brown sugar sauce. Stir until fully incorporated.
Add the pecans to the pie shell. Pour the brown sugar/eggs mixture over the pecan.
Bake the pie for 50 to 55½ minutes (the center should look pretty much set).
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
As it cools, the center will sink a little.
Serve warm or at room temp with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

If you don't have access to Lyles, use a combination of ½ cup of light corn syrup and ½ cup of dark corn syrup.

The pie can be made up to 2 days before serving. Keep refrigerated in an air-tight container. Let come to room temperature before serving.
