1 Cup White Corn Syrup
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/3 Teaspoon Salt
1/3 Cup Melted Butter
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
3 Eggs
2 Cups Roasted Pecans
Refrigerated pre-made pie dough or ready-made unbaked pie shell
Preheat oven to 350. Put the butter in the microwave until it is completely melted. In a mixing bowl combine corn syrup, brown sugar, salt, butter and vanilla. In another bowl, slightly beat eggs and then add to pecan mixture. If making the crush from scratch, roll out refrigerated pie dough to 1/8th thickness and approximately an inch in diameter larger than the pie tin. Pinch the pie edge to make a "wave" shape cutting off excess as you go. Put filling into unbaked pie shell and top with pecans. Bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes. At this point, take the pie out and add strips of tin foil to the pie edge to keep it from burning. Place pie back in over for another 30-40 minutes. Test if pie is done by inserting a knife in the center of the pie. If it comes out clean, you are ready to remove the pie, otherwise give it an additional 10 minutes.
