Ingredients Notes and Substitutions

  • Pie crust: frozen pre-made or homemade single pie crust.
  • Pecans: don’t chop your pecan halves too much. Just a quick coarse chop. There should still be whole halves and some quarters for the best texture.
  • Corn syrup: light corn syrup produces a lighter flavor, while dark corn syrup produces a deeper, more caramelized flavor.
  • Brown sugar: light or dark brown, like corn syrup, they produce slightly different results.
  • Butter: unsalted or salted
  • Vanilla extract: please use pure vanilla extract.
