Ingredients

1 pie crust , unbaked
2 cups chopped pecans , reserve 8-10 whole pecans
3 large eggs
1 cup light corn syrup
½ cup light brown sugar , packed
¼ cup granulated sugar
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

For serving: Ice cream or Whipped cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Prep. Prepare your pie crust and press into a 9-inch pie dish. Place in the refrigerator until ready to bake. When ready to bake, place 2 cups chopped pecans (reserve 8-10 whole pecans) in the bottom of the crust.
Combine. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 eggs. Whisk in 1 cup corn syrup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 4 Tablespoons melted butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon until combined. Pour over the pecans. Place whole pecans in a circle design on top, being sure to press the pecans into the filling.
Bake 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until edges are golden and the center is set (it's ok if it's a little jiggly). Halfway through baking, place a pie crust shield or tent foil over the top of the pie to prevent the crust from burning.
Cool. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool completely. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

Storage: Loosely wrap the cooled pie in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Keep in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
