How to Make Pecan Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
Add the all-purpose flour and pecans to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Ensure an even layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on it during the last 5 minutes to prevent burning.
Let the crust cool completely in the pan before adding your favorite filling.
