Ingredients

• 1 pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it onto the bottom and sides. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edge.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, light corn syrup, melted butter, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Pour the peanut butter mixture into the prepared pie crust.
5. Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts evenly over the top of the filling.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. The center may still be slightly jiggly, but it will firm up as it cools.
7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
8. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
9. Slice and serve the peanut pie chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
