Costco Pecan Pie Copycat

/

Ingredients

  • 1 9- inch unbaked pie crust thawed as per instructions or our homemade pie crust

  • ¾ cup golden corn syrup

  • 100 grams granulated sugar approx. ½ cup

  • ½ stick butter, unsalted melted

  • 25 grams dark brown sugar approx. 2 tablespoons

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 3 eggs, large lightly beaten

  • ½ cup pecans chopped

  • ½ cup pecan halves for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F. If using our homemade pie crust, lightly flour a surface and roll dough out ⅛” thick, and lay the dough into a 9-inch pie dish leaving about ¾” overhang, fold the overhang so the pie edge stands up, then crimp the edges. Add parchment paper, pie weights and pre-bake for 5-10 minutes. If using store-bought, thaw pie crusts based on package instructions, and pre-bake the same way. Reduce heat to 350F and bake for 40-50 minutes.

  • In a medium-large mixing bowl add corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter (slightly cooled), dark brown sugar, salt and vanilla, and mix well with a spatula until all the butter is absorbed.

  • Add eggs and mix until fully combined, then add chopped pecans.

  • Pour into pie crust and top with pecans (alternatively, you can mix them into the filling).

  • Bake for 10 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350F. Bake for another 40-50 minutes (the center should be slightly jiggly and will set as it cools) and allow it to cool on a wire rack.
