Cracker Barrel Pecan Pie Recipe is a rich and classic dessert with deep sweet flavor. This Cracker Barrel Pecan Pie Recipe has a buttery crust and crunchy pecans.
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie crust store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Prepare the Pie Crust
- Place the pie crust into a pie dish. Press gently into the edges. Trim extra dough. Keep it ready while preparing the filling. You can chill it slightly for better results.
Arrange the Pecans
- Spread pecan halves evenly over the pie crust. Make a single layer. This helps create a nice top texture after baking. The pecans will rise during baking.
Mix the Filling
- In a bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Add corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla and salt. Mix until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and slightly thick.
Pour the Filling
- Carefully pour the filling over the pecans. Make sure it spreads evenly. Do not disturb the arrangement too much. The pecans will float and form a top layer.
Bake the Pie
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Place the pie in the oven. Bake for 50 minutes. The center should be slightly set but still soft. The top will look golden and glossy.
Cool Before Serving
- Remove the pie from oven. Let it cool completely for at least 2 hours. This helps the filling set properly. Slice carefully and serve.
Notes
- Use fresh pecans for best flavor.
- Do not overbake to avoid dry filling.
- Let the pie cool fully before slicing.
- Use foil on crust edges if they brown too fast.
- Add a little cinnamon for extra warmth.
- Serve slightly warm for best taste.
