Ingredient Substitutions
Corn syrup can be replaced with maple syrup or a homemade sugar syrup for those seeking a less processed alternative. Use an equal amount of maple syrup, or make a simple syrup with 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water, simmered until thickened. For a lower-sugar option, try using a sugar-free syrup substitute, adjusting quantities to taste. Pecans can be substituted with walnuts or a mix of nuts like almonds and cashews for a different flavor profile while maintaining the crunchy texture. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe. Egg roll wrappers can be swapped with spring roll wrappers or rice paper for a gluten-free version. If using rice paper, soak briefly in warm water before filling and adjust frying time as they cook faster than traditional egg roll wrappers.

Ingredients
- 1 cup light or dark corn syrup
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 2 cups pecans
- 16 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients and Preheat Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F.
This ensures it’s the right temperature for baking the pie once it’s ready.
Step 2: Make the Pie Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine corn syrup, eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract using a spoon until well mixed.
Once the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined, stir in the pecans to create the pie filling.
Step 3: Fill and Bake the Pie
Pour the pecan mixture into a prepared pie dish, ensuring an even spread of pecans throughout the filling.
Place the pie dish on the center rack of your preheated oven.
Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, checking for doneness by seeing if the center of the pie springs back slightly when gently touched and is no longer jiggly.
Step 4: Cool the Pie
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours.
This cooling step is crucial to ensure the filling sets properly for easier slicing and enhanced flavor.
Step 5: Prepare and Fry the Pecan Pie Egg Rolls
While the pie cools, consider making pecan pie egg rolls as a fun addition or alternative.
Take 2 tablespoons of the pecan pie mixture and place it onto each egg roll wrap.
Roll up the wraps, sealing the edges with a touch of water to ensure they stay closed during frying.
In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and fry the egg rolls for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the pecan pie at room temperature.
For the egg rolls, let them cool slightly after frying before serving.
Enjoy the classic pecan pie along with the creative twist on egg rolls!
