Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Roll out your pie crust and line your 9 inch pie pan with it. Line the pie crust with a double layer of aluminum foil, making sure to wrap the foil around the edges of the pie crust. Fill it with pie weights or coins. (If you use coins, make sure to take care when removing them as they will be hot.) Bake for 25 minutes.
1 pie crust
When the pie crust is done pre-baking, remove it from the oven and lower the temperature to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the aluminum foil and pie weights.
While your pie crust is baking, melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Once melted, whisk in the brown sugar, stirring until smooth.
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 cup light brown sugar
Remove from heat and whisk in the corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Then stir in the eggs. Finally, stir in the pecans. Pour the mixture into the hot pie crust.
3/4 cup light corn syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3 large eggs, 2 cups pecan halves
Bake for 50-60 minutes. The pie should be puffed up in the middle, and when you gently push on it it should spring back. Remove from the oven and allow the pie to set for up to 2 hours.
