Ingredients and Variations

BATTER: Pecan pie is famous for its sweet and savory, gooey batter that has crunchy pecans baked right in! Butter and brown sugar for the caramel-like flavor and texture. Eggs help the pie set up right.

PECANS: Pecans have that light, nutty flavor that tastes like fall. If desired, toast them in a dry pan until fragrant to make them extra crunchy and intensify their flavor!

VARIATIONS: Make a super fancy Bourbon version by adding a ½ cup of dark chocolate chips and about 2 tablespoons of real bourbon or 1 tablespoon of bourbon extract.

How to Make Pecan Pie

Make this easy pie in just a few steps!

1. Whisk ingredients together (per recipe below) & pour into the prepared crust.
2. Bake for 15 minutes then reduce heat & bake another 35 minutes.
3. Cool completely before serving.

PRO TIP: Pecan pie is done baking if it’s a bit wiggly but not wet. Pecan pie should be sightly set but a bit of movement is ok, it’ll set more as it cools.

Tips for Perfect Pie

• For best results, avoid overbaking pecan pie. Remove it from the oven and let it sit and cool before slicing.
• Buying chopped pecans is a real timesaver!
• For pecan bars, press pie crust into a 9”x9” inch baking dish. Bake as directed.
• For mini-pecan pies or tarts, press circles of pie crust into the bottoms of lined cupcake dishes. Fill and bake as directed.
• Serve with Homemade Whipped Cream or Homemade Caramel Sauce. Even try a scoop of homemade 3 Ingredient No Churn Ice Cream.

How to Store

Always keep egg-based pies covered in the refrigerator and eat them within 4 days. Freeze a whole pie or individual pieces once they are fully cooled by wrapping them tightly with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Write the date on the outside and for best results, allow to thaw at room temperature and use within 2 months.
