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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts evenly over the top of the filling.
- 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.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Slice and serve the peanut pie chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
