Instructions

1. Preheat the oven
   Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the filling
   In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
3. Add pecans
   Stir in the pecans.
4. Fill the crust
   Pour mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
5. Bake
   Bake for 50–60 minutes until the center is mostly set but still slightly jiggly.
6. Cool completely
   Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing so the filling sets properly.

Tips for the Best Texture

• Toast the pecans first for deeper flavor.
• Cover crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
• Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
