How to Make Southern Living's Cream Cheese Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 8 ounces (225g) softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the cream cheese mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (190g) light corn syrup, 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup (60ml) unsalted butter, melted, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs.
  5. Stir in 2 cups (150g) pecan halves.
  6. Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the cream cheese filling.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The center may still appear slightly jiggly.
  8. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
