Combine the eggs, evaporated milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and 1 teaspoon salt in the prepared dish and whisk to combine. Whisk in the pumpkin puree and brown sugar. Sprinkle evenly with the cake mix. Crush the graham crackers by hand and sprinkle them over the cake mix. Top with the pecans and then dot with the butter. Bake the pie until the edges are set and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour (the middle will still jiggle slightly). Let cool 20 minutes.
