Ingredients

Dough for single-crust pie

1/4 cup sugar

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup honey

3 eggs, lightly beaten

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup pecan halves

Instructions

1 Prepare the pie crust

2 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then, on a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 1/8-inch-thick circle. Transfer that to a 9-inch pie plate and trim the crust to a half inch beyond the rim of the plate, fluting the edge. Refrigerate the pie crust while you're preparing the filling.

3 Make the filling, then prepare the pie

4 In a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour and salt. Then stir in the honey, eggs, butter and vanilla. Next, stir in the chopped pecans and pour the filling into the crust. Arrange the pecan halves around the edge and in the center of the pie.

5 Cover the pie edge with foil, then bake in two stages

6 Cover the pie's edge loosely with foil, then bake it for 25 minutes. Next, remove the foil and bake the pie again until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, which will take 20 to 25 minutes. Cool the pie on a wire rack, then enjoy.
