Simmie's Pecan Pie from Southern Living

This is my favorite holiday dessert and my favorite pecan pie recipe. 

ingredients

3 large eggs

3/4 cup sugar

1 cup dark corn syrup

3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1/8 teaspoon salt (I don't use if my butter is salted)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups chopped (or halved) pecans

1 unbaked (9-inch) pastry shell (I use Whole Foods gluten free pie crust)

Stir together eggs and sugar until blended.  Stir in chopped pecans. Pour mixture into pastry shell. Place pie on a baking sheet.

Bake at 400 degrees on lower oven rack for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake 40 to 45 minutes, shielding with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
