Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
Put 1 1/4 cup pecan pieces in pre-baked pie shell. In a large bowl whisk the light corn syrup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3 eggs, vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter together until smooth. Pour the custard mixture over the nuts and bake the pie until the filling puffs and rises above the edges of the pie shell, about 30 minutes. Carefully remove the pie from oven and let it cool completely before serving. Drizzle the pie with Cinnamon Pecan Caramel and serve.
