Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups pecans (I used small halves, but chopped pecans work just as well.)
1 (9-inch) unbaked deep dish frozen pie shell (thawed)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a medium bowl, gently beat eggs. Stir in sugar and flour, then the syrup, butter and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the pecans. Pour the mixture into pie shell being cautious not to over fill it.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until set. Allow to cool completely.

Notes

If you find that your crust begins to darken too much, you can use a pie shield or sculpted aluminum foil to cover the exposed pie crust edges and prevent them from burning.

Placing the pie on a rimmed baking sheet will help to prevent spill over into the oven when baking.
