How to Make Honey Pecan Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup honey, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and well combined.
Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
Gently fold in 2 cups pecan halves.
Pour the filling into your unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly and enhances the flavor.
