Ingredients
1 9-inch pie crust
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Optional: whole pecan halves for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
4. Whisk in flour until fully incorporated.
5. Fold in chopped pecans and pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Decorate the top with pecan halves if desired.
6. Place pie on a baking sheet and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
7. Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Let the pie cool fully for clean, firm slices.
Toasting pecans before adding them enhances their flavor.
Use a pie shield or foil to cover crust edges if they brown too quickly.
