Pie Recipe #48 - Pecan Pie

There's nothing sweeter than a good pecan pie. This is the usual companion to the ever-popular pumpkin pie for our Thanksgiving dessert (along with pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and pumpkin spice fudge). It really is simple to make-mix the ingredients, pour into a pie shell, bake, and finally, enjoy!! Ingredients: 9-inch pie crust (homemade or pre-made), 2/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup butter, melted, 1 cup corn syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3 eggs, 1 cup pecan halves or broken pieces (I leave some whole, for looks). Instructions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare pastry. In a medium bowl, beat sugar, butter, corn syrup, salt and eggs. Stir in pecans. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until set. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. "Betty Crocker's 40th Anniversary Edition Cookbook", 1990. "As easy as pie!"
