Louisville Pecan Pie

As autumn settles in everyone breaks out the autumn deserts. One of my favorites is pecan pie. So as Thanksgiving is the pinnacle of the autumn I love to make a nice pecan pie for Thanksgiving. In the pictures you may notice the amounts are a bit more then in the ingredients and that is because I doubled the recipe
Begin by greasing a 9" pie tin with butter
Most years I opt for a store bought pastry dough to save time. Lay your dough on a floured surface and roll until thin but not too thin that it will rip.
Place your dough into the pie tin.
Press firmly into the pie tin cutting off the excess dough.
Use a fork to crimp the dough to the edge of the pie tin.
In a large mixing bowl add your brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt.
Crack your eggs into a bowl
Combine into the first bowl
Melt your butter and add to the bowl
Mix until combined
Make sure to either buy halved pecans or split your whole pecans in half. Add to the bowl
Pour into the crust and bake at 400°F for 5 minutes and then lower to 300°F and bake for 60 minutes
Enjoy!
Yum.
Delicious.

Can I use something other than corn syrup?
