Pecan Pie

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.
