Whole wheat crust adds fiber and nutrients.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, light corn syrup, and salt, whisking together until well mixed.

Add melted unsalted butter and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk.

Add eggs to the mixture and stir well until combined.

Stir in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.

Pour the mixture into the deep-dish pie crust, arranging some pecans on top if desired.

Cover the pie with foil to prevent burning.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes without the foil.

Allow to cool before serving.
