Ingredients

For the Crust (optional, can use store-bought):

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

For the Brownie Layer:

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp salt

For the Pecan Pie Topping:

• ¾ cup light corn syrup
• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups pecan halves

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish if making homemade or using store-bought.
2. Make the Brownie Layer
   In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt until combined. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared crust.
3. Prepare the Pecan Filling
   In another bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir in pecan halves until evenly coated.
4. Assemble the Pie
   Gently pour the pecan mixture over the brownie layer, spreading the pecans evenly across the top.
5. Bake
   Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. If the crust or pecans brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 15 minutes.
6. Cool and Serve
   Allow pie to cool completely before slicing to let the filling set. Serve plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
