My father use to make this pie when I was younger. I would go out in the woods looking for hickory nuts and remember having to shell them with a hair pin! It seemed like forever but the pie was worth it!—Carolyn Hayes, Marion, Illinois
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped hickory nuts or pecans, toasted
- 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
- Additional toasted hickory nuts or pecans, optional
Directions
- In a small bowl, beat eggs just until blended but not frothy. Beat in the corn syrup, sugar, butter, vanilla and salt until blended. Stir in nuts. Pour into pastry shell.
- Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Garnish with additional nuts if desired.
