Toasted Pecan Delight Pie

1. Prepare Oven

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and place a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet on it. Preheat the oven to 275°F.

2. Melt Butter

Place the butter pieces in a heatproof bowl and set it over a skillet filled with simmering water. Stir occasionally until the butter is fully melted, making sure it doesn't brown.

3. Combine Butter, Sugar, and Salt

Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the dark brown sugar and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

4. Add Eggs

Add the eggs to the mixture one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated and smooth.

5. Add Corn Syrup and Vanilla

Whisk in the light corn syrup and vanilla extract until the filling is well-blended and glossy.

6. Heat Mixture

Return the bowl to the skillet with hot water and continue to stir until the mixture reaches 130°F. The mixture should be shiny and hot to the touch.

7. Add Pecans

Stir in the toasted and finely chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

8. Fill Pie Crust

Pour the pecan mixture into the warm, partially baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

9. Bake Pie

Place the pie on the preheated baking sheet in the oven and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour. The filling should look set and jiggle slightly like Jell-O when pressed gently with the back of a spoon.

10. Cool Pie

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up.

11. Serve Pie

The pie can be enjoyed slightly warm or at room temperature. If you prefer it warm, reheat it in a 250°F oven for about 15 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
