Martha Stewart Pecan Pie Recipe Ingredients

• 1/2 recipe Perfect Pie Crust
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (such as Sugar In The Raw)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups pecan halves
• Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving (optional)

How To Make Martha Stewart Pecan Pie Recipe

1. Preheat oven and prep crust: Preheat oven to 375°F with the rack in the lowest position. Roll out the pie dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim dough to a 1-inch overhang.
2. Form and crimp crust: Fold overhang under itself to form a rim. Pinch the edge to form a uniform border and crimp with your fingertips. Transfer the prepared crust to the refrigerator to chill.
3. Make filling: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in the pecan halves.
4. Assemble and bake: Pour filling into the chilled pie crust. Place the pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling jiggles slightly in the center when gently shaken.
5. Cool and serve: Let the pie cool completely in the pie plate for 5 to 6 hours. Slice and serve with whipped cream, if desired.
