Preparation

Step 1

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare the pie shell and put in the refrigerator.

In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, flour, salt, and cream and mix well. The mixture will be very stiff.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until combined. Go slowly at first to make sure the first egg is mixed in thoroughly. Stir in the vanilla and the pecan pieces until well mixed.

Pour this mixture carefully into the pie shell.

Shake the filled shell a bit so the filling levels off. Top with the pecan halves in a pretty pattern.

Bake at 375°F for 40 to 50 minutes or until the pie is set around the edges and still jiggles slightly in the center. 

Place the pie on a cooling rack and cool. Cover with foil and let stand at room temperature until ready to eat.
