Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the 1 pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp edges as desired.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 0.75 cup corn syrup, 0.5 cup brown sugar, and 3 tbsp butter. Stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk 3 eggs with 1 tsp vanilla and 0.25 tsp salt until frothy.
Step 4
Slowly pour the warm syrup mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Step 5
Arrange 1.5 cups pecan halves evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Step 6
Pour the filling over the pecans, ensuring they are mostly covered.
Step 7
Bake until the filling is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center, about 45-50 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Step 8
Serve at room temperature or slightly warm.
