Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a jelly-roll pan with aluminum foil, and lightly grease the foil.
Stir the pecan halves, light-brown sugar and dark corn syrup together in a small bowl. Spread the mixture out on the jelly-roll pan and bake, stirring every 4 minutes, for 12 to 15 minutes or until the glaze thickens.
Remove the pan from the oven and spread the pecans in a single layer of wax paper. Let the pecans cool completely, separating them with a spoon as they cool.
Lower the oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine all the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl, and pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Scatter the chopped glazed pecans evenly on top of the pie filling.
Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until set. Let the pie cool on a wire rack before serving at room temperature.
