Ingredients

Filling

1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract oil
3 Large eggs
3/4 cup Light Corn Syrup
1/3 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled to lukewarm
1/8 tsp. Ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Fine sea salt
220 g Packed light-brown sugar
214 g Pecan Halves, divided

Pie Crust

5 tbsp. Ice water
1/2 cup Unsalted butter, cold and diced into small cubes
1/2 tsp. Fine sea salt
2 tsp. Sugar
1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour

Method

01

For the pie crust: In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Add butter and cut into flour using a pastry cutter or a long pronged for until mixture resembles coarse meal with small visible chunks of butter.
02

Add 1 Tbsp of water at a time and fold with a rubber spatula, while adding just enough water until the mixture has almost fully come together and is in moist clumps.
03

Gently press dough together and shape into a 6-inch round disk, wrap in plastic wrap and chill 45 - 60 minutes until nearly firm.
04

Dust a clean work surface with flour and roll crust out into a 12-inch round. Fold dough in half then fold in half once more, transfer to a 9-inch pie dish with the folded corner of the dough in the center of the pie pan.
05

Carefully unfold the dough and fit into the dish. Trim excess crust coming within about 3/4-inch of the pie dish. Tuck that excess under crust and flute or decorate as desired.
06

Pierce bottom and sides of the crust all over with a fork. Transfer to the freezer and chill 15 - 20 minutes until firm. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
07

Place pie on a baking sheet. Fit two-layered sheets of foil snugly against the pie crust (but being careful not to smash decorative edge but still covering loosely), fill with 2 lbs of dry beans.
08

Bake crust on the baking sheet in center of oven 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Lift out beans using foil. Return to oven and to bake 10 minutes longer. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
09

For the filling: Chop 1 cup of the pecans then sprinkle evenly into pie crust. Sprinkle 1 cup whole pecans over the chopped layer. Set aside. In a mixing bowl whisk together brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Mix in butter, corn syrup, eggs and vanilla extract (there should be no streaks of the egg).
