- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cup pecans coarsely chopped
- 1 9- inch pie crust unbaked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare the piecrust.
- Roll pie dough out into a circle 12-inches in diameter.
- Carefully place the dough into a 9-inch pie plate.

- Combine the first 7 ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk to combine well, but do not whip.
- Pour into piecrust and bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until middle is set.
- When crust gets to desired color (usually after about 20 minutes), cover edges with foil or pie shields until pie is done. You can also tent a piece of aluminum foil over the whole pie if it is browning too quickly.
- Remove finished pie from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. The pie filling will settle as it cools.
- Slice and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
- Cover and store leftover pie at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
