Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade)
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2: Roll out the pie crust and place it into a 6-inch pie dish that fits in your air fryer. Trim the excess crust and crimp the edges.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Step 4: Scatter the pecan halves evenly over the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the pecans, ensuring they are all submerged.
Step 5: Place the pie dish in the air fryer basket. Cook the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, cover the pie with aluminum foil to prevent the crust from over-browning and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm in the center.
Step 6: Remove the pie from the air fryer and let it cool completely before serving, allowing the filling to set.
Step 7: Slice and enjoy your perfectly crisp and gooey Air Fryer Pecan Pie!
