How to Make Pecan Pie
Prepare pie crust then blind bake it (so it’s not soggy after adding wet filling). For the filling: sprinkle 1 cup chopped pecans into pie crust, then sprinkle in 1 cup whole pecans. In a mixing bowl whisk together brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Mix in butter, corn syrup, eggs and vanilla extract (there should be no streaks of egg). Pour mixture evenly over pecan layer in crust. Transfer pie to a baking sheet. Bake in lower portion of the oven on baking sheet until set.
