Pecan Pie is one of the easiest pies to make so it's a great recipe to get your kids involved. This Pecan Pie recipe is a variation on my mother’s heavenly, caramel-flavored version. She uses corn syrup in hers, but I use a brown rice syrup. Either works! My pie has the same creamy center as my mom’s with a tons of pecan pieces in every bite. The perfect addition to any dessert table during the holidays!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Pecans First 🥜
Lightly toast raw pecans in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes before adding to the filling to deepen their flavor and eliminate any bitterness for a superior taste.
Chill Your Crust Thoroughly ❄️
Refrigerate your unbaked pie crust for at least 30 minutes before filling to prevent shrinkage during baking and ensure a flaky, structurally sound shell.
Temper Your Eggs Properly 🥚
Whisk eggs with a small amount of the warm butter mixture before combining with filling ingredients to prevent scrambled eggs and achieve a smooth, creamy custard center.
Prevent Soggy Bottom Crust 🛡️
Brush your unbaked pie crust with a thin layer of egg white or melted butter before adding filling to create a moisture barrier that keeps the bottom crispy.
Bake at Lower Temperature Longer ⏱️
Bake at 325°F instead of higher temperatures for 50-60 minutes to gently set the custard filling while preventing the pecans from over-darkening or the edges from burning.
