Classic Pecan Pie

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F and fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges.

Step 2

Scatter the pecan halves evenly over the bottom of the crust.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the mixture over the pecans in the crust.

Step 5

Cover the edges with foil to prevent over-browning, then bake for 50-55 minutes, until the center is just set and no longer jiggles when the pan is gently shaken.

Step 6

Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
