    My daughter likes to then take the second half of the pecans and arrange them beautifully on the top, make sure you push them down enough to get a bit of the sugar mixture over each pecan.
11. 11
    You can just sprinkle the other half of them over your pie but remember to push them down.
12. 12
    Bake your pie for 40-50 minutes until center is set.
13. 13
    Half way through your cooking loosely wrap foil around the edge of your pie crust to prevent burning-This might take a bit of practice but your pie crust edges will not be slightly burned after such a long cooking time.
14. 14
    Let your pie sit for about 20-30 minutes before serving.

    We like ours with vanilla ice cream or whip cream.
