Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Step 2

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 chopped pecans in the bottom of the crust.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Whisk in the corn syrup, brown sugar, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and 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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool completely. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
