Southern Pecan Pie

1 cup corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
3 eggs
3/4 cup quick cook oats
1 tsp vanilla
small pinch salt
pecan halves
pie crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place pie crust into pie dish.

Mix together corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and butter. Add oats and salt and mix thoroughly. Pour mixture into prepared pie crust. Neatly arrange pecan halves in a circular manner around the pie, placing them gently so that they "float" on top of the mixture. I like to start by placing a pecan at 12, 3, 6, and 9 like on the face of a clock at the outer edge of the pie and then fill in that ring and move inward.

Bake at 350 for approx. 50 minutes. If crusts edge starts to brown you can cover it with aluminum foil to prevent it from burning while the pie continues to cook.
