We got this recipe from a North Carolina native who says that Crunchy Peanut Pie is a great alternative for pecan pie, because it's got that same gooey texture and nutty crunch. Man-oh-man, it doesn't get much better than this!
What You'll Need
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
What to Do
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Add the sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt, and vanilla. Continue to beat until thoroughly blended. Stir in the peanuts.
- Place the pie shell on a cookie sheet, pour in the filling, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden. Cool in the refrigerator and serve.
