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.

Butter and brown sugar melting in a medium sized saucepan.

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.

Pecan pieces have been added to the pie filling mixture.

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.

The filling has been poured into an unbaked pie 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?

Raw pecans have placed on top the pie for decoration.
