Pecan Pie

1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust 1 T. butter, melted
1 c. light corn syrup 1/3 tsp. salt
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs, slightly beaten 1 1/2 c. pecans


Heat oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except 1/2 cup pecans. Pour filling into unbaked pie crust. Sprinkle with remaining pecans. Bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. If crust or pie appears to be getting too brown, cover with foil for the remaining baking time.

*So I've never been able to get the toothpick to come out clean. This pie looks puffed up while it's in the oven and seems to be all runny yet. But after you take it out and it has time to cool, it settles down and becomes solid.
