How to Make Lemon Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Bake the pre-made pie crust for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  2. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
  4. Stir in the pecans. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust.
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for 40 minutes. If the edges start to brown too quickly, loosely cover them with aluminum foil after 25 minutes.
  6. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
  7. Serve chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream (optional).
