In a mixing bowl, add granulated sugar.

Add clear corn syrup to the sugar.

Add melted butter to the mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the bowl.

Add 3 tablespoons of evaporated milk.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Crack 2 eggs into a separate bowl to check for freshness, then add them to the mixture.

Mix all ingredients until well combined using a mixer, whisk, or spatula.

Stir in the pecan halves until evenly distributed.

Pour the mixture into the deep dish pie crust placed on a baking sheet to catch any spills.

Allow the pie to sit for 2 minutes before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes or until set and golden brown.

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before cutting.
