Easiest Pecan Pie

From Southern Living Magazine

1-1/2 cups pecans, chopped
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1 deep dish frozen unbaked pie shell

Preheat oven to 350.

Spread pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until toasted.

Stir together eggs, sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir in pecans. Pour filling in pie shell. Spread evenly.

Bake at 350 for 55 minutes or until set, shielding pie with aluminum foil after 20 minutes to prevent excessive browning.
