Cooking spray
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Roll dough onto an 11" circle. Coat a 9" pie plate with cooking spray. Center the dough in the plate and crimp the edges.
Combine brown sugar and remaining ingredients, stirring well. Pour into prepared crust. Bake for 50 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely on wire rack.
Yield: 12 servings.
Note: Pie may be made a day before being served, but needs to be stored in the refrigerator if you do.
