Description

Mae Wilton's version of pecan pie adds a touch of almond extract to the classic Karo syrup and butter filling — baked slowly at 325°F for a full hour in a crust pre-baked for 6 minutes for a firm, fully cooked base. The almond extract is a small detail that makes a noticeable difference.

Ingredients

1 Pie crust, pre-baked 6 minutes
¹⁄₂ Cups White sugar
2 Tbsp. Flour
1 Cup Karo syrup
3 Eggs
1 stick Butter
1 Cup Pecans, chopped
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
¹⁄₂ tsp. Almond extract

Instructions

Pre-bake the pie crust at 325°F for 6 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
Mix white sugar, flour, Karo syrup, eggs, butter, pecans, vanilla, and almond extract together until well combined.
Pour filling into the pre-baked crust.
Bake at 325°F for 1 hour until set.
Cool completely before slicing.

Note

Pre-baking the crust for 6 minutes ensures the bottom crust cooks through under the dense filling. Do not skip this step.
