How to Make Aunt Helens Pecan Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the light corn syrup, dark corn syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Stir in the pecans until evenly distributed.
- Pour the pecan mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Continue baking for 40-45 minutes, or until the center has a slight jiggle but the pie is set. The total baking time may be 50-55 minutes. If the edges are browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
