Very Good Pecan Pie

Category: Pies

1 (9 inch) pie shell
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup
1/2 stick butter, melted
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
2/3 cup of chocolate chips (optional)


You can use a prepared pie shell for this if you like to make life much easier, but a homemade pastry is always best.

Mix all ingredients together and pour into prepared pie shell.
Decorate the top with some whole pecans if you like.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-50 minutes. Let rest in the pie pan or tart ring before removing, for about 20 minutes so the pie will solidify.


Whipped cream optional!
