Let’s get started!
Equipment for pecan pie:
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Wooden Spoon
- Medium Saucepan
- Nine (9) Inch Pie Dish
How to make pecan pie?
- First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. and place a raw pie crust into the nine (9) inch pie pan.
- Now, it’s time to make the filling. Grab a medium saucepan and place it over low heat.
- Next, add the butter and brown sugar. While stirring, let the mixture melt down into a syrup. Once this happens, remove it from the heat.
- Then, stir in the corn syrup, vanilla extract, eggs, and pecan pieces.
- When everything has been combined, carefully pour the filling into the unbaked crust.
- Last, bake the pie, uncovered for fifty to sixty (50-60) minutes or until the filling sets. Let it cool for an hour before serving the pecan pie.
- However, if your crust starts to brown too quickly, place a foil tent over the pie until it finishes cooking.
That’s it, your easy pecan pie recipe is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy the dessert and wish you all the best this holiday season 🙂
How to decorate pecan pie?
This step is optional, please don’t feel obligated to do this. Kim chose to add the extra pecans for a nicer presentation.
Start from the edge, lay the pecans in a spiral pattern, and work your way towards the center of the pie. That’s it, pretty easy, right?
