1. Stage

Preheat oven to 450°. Arrange pecans, with rounded sides facing down, on the bottom of a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate; drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar; press lightly.

2. Stage

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in.-thick circle. Transfer to pie plate; place over brown sugar. Press the crust firmly against brown sugar and side of pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2-inch beyond rim of plate.
