1. Preheat the Oven

• Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.

2. Prepare the Brownie Batter

• In a medium bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions.

• Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly.

3. Mix the Pecan Topping

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the pecans, corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Assemble the Pie

• Carefully pour the pecan mixture over the brownie batter.

• Use the back of a spoon to spread the pecans evenly if needed.

5. Bake

• Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the pecan layer comes out clean.

• If the crust edges brown too quickly, tent them with foil halfway through.

6. Cool and Serve

• Let the pie cool completely at room temperature before slicing.

• Serve as-is, or elevate it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
