I've been on a pie bake this afternoon sharing the best of pies with you.  Yet, for some reason, my favorite slipped my mind and I just had to get back on to share this family favorite with you.  I don't chop my pecans leaving them halved.  By doing so, you get a rich carmel bite with each mouthful.  Enjoy!

1 1/2 cups halved pecans
3 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup of corn syrup
2 tab. melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pie crust

Combine eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and vanilla in a bowl.  Mix by hand to combine ingredients well.  Add pecans and mix again.  Pour into pie crust and bake at 350 degrees for 55 min.  Hide this one so it makes it to the Thanksgiving table!
