Step-by-Step Instructions for Rich Southern Pecan Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the oven rack in the lower-middle section.
  2. Roll out the homemade pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pre-bake the crust for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon until smooth.
  4. Chop the pecans coarsely and sprinkle them evenly across the bottom of the pre-baked crust. Pour the custard mixture over the pecans.
  5. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  6. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
