  • 4 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 stick butter softened
  • 2 c. pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan. Place a sheet of parchment paper in the bottom of the pie crust and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for 10 minutes.

  • In a medium bowl combine the sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, salt and cinnamon. Mix well.

  • Pour the filling into the partially baked pie crust.
  • Take the remaining ½ cup of pecan halves and decorate the top of the pie.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes. Once the filling has set, remove the pie from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
  • Wait 2-3 hours before slicing.
