  3. Fold in chopped pecans gently until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the filling is set and slightly jiggly in the center.

  7. Slice into wedges and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
