The best pecan pie I've ever had. It's better than my southern mama's.

Im not a lover of pecan pie because of the corn syrup taste so I eager to try this recipe for DBF birthday treat. It was out of this world delish! I used 1/2 cup butter, 1 1/2 cups brown sugar and 2 cups pecans, mixed pieces and whole. It did take a little longer to bake and did need covered towards the end again, but I took it out of the oven when it was still a little jiggly in the middle and as it cooled it was perfect! Great recipe Ann, thanks!

I have a family of pecan pie aficionados - and this was declared the best pie ever! Used 1/2 cup butter, 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, 2 cups coarsely chopped pecans, and a ready-crust.

Making this again next weekend for my husband's birthday - thanks for such an easy recipe!

Delicious! I used 1/2 cup butter. I'm not sure why others thought this wasn't very sweet - I love sweet and thought it could have used a little less brown sugar.

this was that favored pie at my thanksgiving party, thank you! i used it with a no roll pie crust, Easy As Pie No Roll Pie Crust. i did a rounded 1/2 cup of butter, 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar, because i ran out of brown, and 1 2/3 cup pecans. baked for 40 minutes, and it was wonderful.

The best, not as sweet as ones made with syrup.

This was so easy and absolutely delicious. The only problem I had was with the cooking time, with a newer oven, 45 minutes burned the top slightly, next time I'll try 30 mins. Thanks for posting this recipe!

I've made this pecan pie for years, thanks to my mother-in-law's recipe. I love it because it never fails. It is our family's favorite. Much better than with syrup.

I used this recipe for Thanksgiving dinner and it was wonderful. I used only 1/2C butter and that was great. Thank you.

The pie tastes wonderful and I love that it doesn't have any corn syrup in it. My only complaint (and the reason it didn't get 5 stars) is that it really, really calls for a Deep Dish Pie Crust instead of a regular one. The first time I made it, the filling overflowed from the pie crust both on my counter AND in the oven. I assumed that it was user error. I just made the pie again and actually had to transfer the filling to a deep dish crust after it once again rolled out of the regular crust and all over my counter.
So as long as you use a deep dish crust, you're fine! Other than that, delicious, flavorful and much healthier than the corn syrup options.

I too liked the idea of making a pecan pie without the corn syrup. The first time I made this, I follwed others suggestions to lower the butter to 1/2 cup and the brown sugar to 1 1/2 cups and up the pecans to 2 cups. Chopping the pecans in my food proceesor left me with everything from crumbs to chunks of nuts. Covering the entire pie for the first 15 minutes as another reviewer suggested was a good idea. In the end I thought my first pecan pie tasted good, altho' a little liquidy --which repaired itself by sitting in the frig. The second time I made it, I cut the brown sugar down to 1 cup, and the eggs down to 2 and broke the pecans in half by hand. It was a little bit liquidy, but not much and the pie was still sweet enough that nobody missed the extra sugar and they all thought it was great! Thanks Ann!

This was a wonderful recipe that was very popular at a dinner party I went to. It's easy to make and very rich and flavourful without being too sweet. It was really nice and creamy and had a great consistency. First time makers should take heed of the other reviewer warnings about letting the sugger/marg mix cool before adding the egg as it will cook otherwise. I made this with 1/2 cup butter (which was fine) and made my own dessert pastry to go with it. A definite keeper and a really good, easy recipe that is sure to impress your friends and family.

This was the first time I had ever made Pecan Pie. I love the fact that there is no corn syrup in it! It was so easy, It made me wonder why I had never made Pecan pie before! I made one before Thanksgiving to "try it out" before serving it to guests. YUM! Everyone loved it!

My husband's one and only dessert weakness is pecan pie. I have been trying to find the perfect recipe for him, but have not had much success - until now!!! This pie is wonderful and it's definitely because of the sugar. It had a nice custardy consistency and was not cloyingly sweet like pies made with corn syrup. Five gold stars for you, Ann! Thank you!

Very easy to prepare and just the right ratio of sweet and nutty.

Made into two #5 cast iron skillets for cuteness sake. Oh, if you're like me, due to the exorbitant amount of holiday sweets recently consumed, you're probably experiencing protein deficiency. Well, just from the looks of this pie, let's get it over with and pass out and die now. Made for Best of 2011 recipe tag.

I made this yummy pie for the family for Christmas 2011 and i loved it! I am not usually a big fan of pecan pie because i do not like the corn syrup filling but I loved that this recipe uses brown sugar instead. I made this with a shortbread crust and it was a fabulous addition to the dessert table. The recipe was easy to follow and I will definitely be making it again-thanks for a great recipe!

I loved the texture and that it wasn't SO sweet, but it wasn't quite sweet enough. Perhaps I'll try it again and add about a half cup of white sugar (???).

I had never made pecan pie before and it is my BFs all time favorite dessert. Whoa. Tall orders. I am glad to report that is was a hit! I made it exactly as written ( I needed something to blame just in case I ruined it and I couldn't do that if I messed with the recipe! LOL! ) My oven is a little on the hot side, so I turned it down 25 degrees as I always do. Still, the top was a smidge burned, but not enough to affect flavor. Still amazing! I loved that this doesn't have any corn syrup. Delicious, easy and not at all intimidating like pecan pies can be! Thanks for making me a star in my house!
