Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch pie dish with the unbaked pie crust.
Prepare filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Add pecans: Stir in 1½ cups pecan halves until evenly distributed.
Assemble pie: Pour the filling into the prepared crust and arrange additional pecans on top for a decorative touch.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 50–55 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Cool: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean pieces.
Serve: Enjoy plain, or add whipped cream for extra richness.
