1 pie

ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie shell
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3⁄4 cup light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
- 3⁄4 cup dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 1 cup pecan halves, quartered
- 1 cup pecan halves
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Brush egg white over unbaked pie shell. This is optional. I do it because it helps to keep the bottom of the crust from getting soggy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrups, brown sugar, butter, salt and finely chopped pecans.
- Arrange the quartered pecan halves on the bottom of the pie shell.
- Gently pour filling mixture over quartered pecan halves.
- Arrange pecan halves on top of filling.
- Bake for 50 - 60 minutes or until filling is set and fairly firm.
- Serve with fresh whipped cream, if desired.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a midwestern girl, born and raised. I married my highschool sweetheart and we've got 3 awesome kiddos. I'm a retailer by trade but love to cook and especially bake. Cake decorating is my hobby. Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday. I love dogs (Proud mama of a pug, a wheaten terrier and a Teddy Bear) and reading, traveling and VW bugs. I love to entertain and cook for friends and family. It thrills me to watch someone eat something I made and totally enjoy it. My perfect Sunday is cooking a big "comfort food" meal while my family watches football.
