Equipment
  • 9-inch pie plate
  • medium-sized bowl
  • Knife
Ingredients
  
  • 1 unbaked pie crust homemade or pre-made
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup corn syrup light or dark
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips optional for Chocolate Pecan Pie
Instructions
 
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, ensuring it is evenly shaped and fitted.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs until they are slightly frothy.
    To the beaten eggs, add the sugar and mix well.
    Then, incorporate the corn syrup, salt, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
    Continue mixing until the ingredients are thoroughly combined, and you have a smooth, gooey pecan pie filling.
  • Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the flaky pie crust if you'd like to make a Chocolate Pecan Pie.
    Distribute them evenly across the crust's bottom.
  • Arrange the chopped pecans in the pie crust, spreading them out uniformly over the chocolate chips (if added) or directly onto the crust for a non-chocolate version.
    Carefully pour the pecan pie filling mixture over the pecans, ensuring it is distributed evenly within the unbaked pie crust.
  • Bake your pie in the preheated oven for approximately 50 to 60 minutes.
    To check if it's ready, insert a knife in the center of the pie.
    If it comes out clean or with minimal residue, your Cracker Barrel Pecan Pie is good to go.
  • Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
    This will ensure the filling and crust are set, creating a perfect slice for you and your guests.
    Now, you have successfully created a delicious Cracker Barrel Pecan Pie!
    Serve it to your family, friends, or chocolate lovers, and relish the crunchy pecans, gooey filling, and flaky crust.
    Enjoy!
