Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and crimp the edges. Spread the pecan halves evenly across the bottom of the crust.

  2. 2

    Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the lightly beaten eggs, light corn syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth and homogeneous.

  3. 3

    Assemble: Pour the syrupy filling directly over the pecans in the pie crust. The pecans will naturally rise to the surface, creating a beautiful layered look.

  4. 4

    Bake: Carefully transfer the pie to the center rack of the oven. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes.

  5. 5

    Check for Doneness: The pie is done when the edges are set and slightly puffed, but the very center still has a slight jiggle (like gelatin) when gently shaken. If the crust edges are browning too quickly, tent them with aluminum foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.

  6. 6

    Cool Completely: This step is crucial: allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 to 3 hours before slicing. This allows the custard filling to set properly. Serve with whipped cream.
