Ingredients
– 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
Creating a delicious Pecan Pie is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Pie Crust: Fit the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, crimping the edges as desired.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
4. Add Pecans: Fold in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
5. Pour Filling: Pour the pecan mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. It should jiggle slightly in the center but not be liquidy.
7. Cool: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 2 hours. This cooling time allows the filling to firm up.
8. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice the pie into wedges for serving.
By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible Pecan Pie that everyone will love.
