How to Make Paula Deen's Pumpkin Pecan Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs until light and frothy.
- Add corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the pecan halves into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
- Gently pour the pumpkin mixture over the pecans, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to set properly and prevents a runny pie.
- Once completely cool, garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pecan pieces (optional). Serve and enjoy!
