Pecan Pie

My most requested holiday pie, Pecan,  we love it around here.  Wish we would have planted a few trees 20 years ago!
1 pie crust, baked about 5 minutes in 350 degree oven. 
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. salt
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
1 1/2 cups pecans

Partially bake a 9 inch pie crust, leave oven on 350.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 4 minutes, stirring often, until the butter just starts to turn light brown.

In a medium bowl mix together butter,  sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, Add eggs and mix until smooth. Stir in pecans, making sure they are all coated well, and then slowly pour the filling into the pie crust. 

Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set. If the edges of the crust begin to turn too brown, briefly remove the pie from the oven and cover the crust with a pie crust shield, or loosely wrap with aluminum foil, then return to the oven. Once the filling is set, remove the pie and let cool completely before slicing.

 Top with whipped cream if desired.
