Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges decoratively around the rim.

  2. 2

    Arrange the pecan halves evenly across the bottom of the pie crust, making sure they cover the entire surface in a single layer.

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

  4. 4

    Pour the egg and syrup mixture carefully over the arranged pecans in the pie crust, allowing it to seep around and under the nuts.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center when gently shaken.

  6. 6

    Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
