Notes: Try to use fully formed half shell pecans rather than pieces. These rise to the top and look better than chopped pecans.
Put a band of aluminum around the edges of the crust to prevent burning.
Use an aluminum tent to cover the pie while baking to prevent burning [usually later
in the baking process because you want a cook the top but not to burn it].
