In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the unsalted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Ice Water

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together. Do not overmix.

Chill the Dough

Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Dough

After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer to the pie pan and trim the excess dough.

Pre-Bake the Crust

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Filling Preparation

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, and melted butter until well combined.

Add Eggs

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Incorporate Pecans

Fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the filling.

Combine Filling and Crust

Pour the pecan filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Bake the Pie

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.
