Ingredients:
• 1 pre-made, rolled pie crust
• 1 C granulated sugar
• 1/4 C brown sugar
• 1 C dark corn syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 C butter
• 2 1/2 C pecans
Directions:
Unroll the pie crust and spread a handful of brown sugar and a dusting of cinnamon. Spread around the pie crust and roll back up. Cut the crust into wheels and press into the bottom and edges of the pie pan to form a crust. Pierce edges slightly with a fork or knife. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. In a bowl, whisk together sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, salt and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk four eggs together and then pour into the sugary mixture. Stir until combined. Brown the half cup of butter on the stove for 4 to 5 minutes. Add into the gooey mixture and stir until combined. Top it off with 2 cups pecans. Leave half a cup to decorate the top of the pie. Pour mixture into pie shell. Decorate the top of the pie with remaining pecans. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until the pie has set.
