    This Pecan Pie is one of the easiest pies you can make. The caramel pecan filling is truly decadent! 

    Serve this classic pie for your holiday desserts, along with my No-Bake Pumpkin Pie or my Perfect Cheesecake.

    One of the classic desserts for the holidays has to be this one. It's rich and decadent. I love pecan and I always use halves. You can chop the nuts roughly before stirring with the filling mixture. Since I don't make pies often, I have yet to master my pie crust recipe. For a shortcut, I use a store-bought ready crust or frozen crust that just needs to be blind baked before assembling the pie. This pie is truly easy to make and bound to wow your family and guests this holiday season!

    Ingredients:

    • 9" pie crust
    • pecans
    • white sugar
    • corn syrup
    • vanilla extract
    • eggs
    • butter
    • cinnamon and ground cloves
    • salt

    How to make Pecan Pie?

    • If you are making a homemade crust, prepare it first.
    • In a large bowl, mix eggs. Add sugar, salt, vanilla, melted butter and corn syrup. Mix well.
    • Stir in pecans.
    • Pour mixture into pie crust and bake for 50 minutes in preheated oven.
    • Cool the pie completely before serving.

    Storing:

    I recommend covering the pie with plastic wrap and storing it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Can I make this pie ahead of time?

    You can make pecan pie up to 3 days in advance and keep it in the fridge.

      My filling is never creamy. It comes out really thick what I'm doing wrong

      This recipe sounds great, but I don't like using "man-made or lab-created whipped topping" (like Cool Whip). Can I use whipped cream instead, or what? Thanks!

        Hi Lorene! You can definitely use whipped cream to top the pie. I hope you love it!
