Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the pecans, butter, brown sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until everything is well mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and along the sides of an 8-inch pie pan. Pop it into the oven and bake for about 12 minutes, just until it turns a light golden color. Keep an eye on it so the pecans don’t get too dark. Once done, let it cool before filling.
