Description

A decadent, nut-packed pie with a gooey, chocolatey filling baked in a deep 9-inch pie shell.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped pecans
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked deep-dish pie crust


Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked crust in a pie pan and have it ready.
  2. In a mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, flour, melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Gently stir the chopped pecans and chocolate chips into the batter so they’re evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell, smoothing the top slightly.
  5. Bake on the middle rack for about 45–50 minutes, until the filling is mostly set and the top is golden — the center may still have a slight wobble.
  6. Allow the pie to cool before slicing; serve warm or chilled as you prefer.

Notes

Storage tip: Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
