#### Step-by-Step Recipe

**1. Preheat the Oven**
Preheat your oven to **350°F (175°C)**. Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.

**2. Make the Filling**
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the **eggs**, **corn syrup**, **sugar**, **melted butter**, **vanilla extract**, and **rum** (if using). Stir until smooth and well combined.

**3. Add the Tropical Touch**
Gently fold in the **crushed pineapple** and **shredded coconut**, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.

**4. Assemble the Pie**
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Arrange the **pecan halves** on top in a decorative pattern, if desired, or simply scatter them evenly.

**5. Bake**
Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for **50-60 minutes**, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie shield.

**6. Cool and Serve**
Let the pie cool completely at room temperature before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
