Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.

Step 2: Prepare the Pie Crust

Spread the chopped pecans evenly over the pre-baked pie crust, ensuring full coverage.

Step 3: Make the Filling

1. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, granulated sugar, and brown sugar over medium heat.
2. Stir continuously until the sugars dissolve and the mixture begins to simmer.
3. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until fully melted.

Step 4: Incorporate the Eggs and Dry Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
2. Gradually whisk the eggs into the warm cream mixture, stirring constantly.
3. Add flour, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until smooth and well combined.

Step 5: Assemble the Pie

• Pour the filling evenly over the pecans in the pie crust.
• Let the filling settle and distribute naturally.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

• Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the filling is set and the top has a golden-brown color.
• Check for doneness by gently shaking the pie; the center should be slightly firm but jiggly.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

• Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing for the best texture and flavor.
• Serve at room temperature or chilled, with optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
