How to Make Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prick the unbaked pie crust with a fork all over.
  3. Blind bake the pie crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and ¼ cup all-purpose flour until well combined.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of whole milk, then whisk in 3 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of corn syrup, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  7. Gradually whisk in ½ cup (1 stick) of melted unsalted butter.
  8. Gently fold in 2 cups of pecan halves.
  9. Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The center may still jiggle slightly.
  11. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly and enhances the flavor.
