COOK TIME

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. 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.
