This pie gets 5 stars as it was completely enjoyed by those who tried it. I personally found it way to rich for my taste, but that is how I have felt with any pecan pie in the past. The only change I made to this recipe was to make my own crust. Made it for last wkend and already my DDL is asking for another one to be made. Thanks for an easy and quick-to-fix recipe!

I have been making this pie for years. I am not a fan of karo syrup, so I tried this recipe. I don't generally measure my pecans, I just arrange them in rings in the pie crust until it is full...I'm guessing it is more than 1 cup. It is very rich, so cut slices small. It is so easy to make...it takes under 10 minutes to put the filling together and if you use an already made pie crust (from the dairy case), the hardest part will be waiting for the pie to cool before slicing. I recommend this recipe highly.

This is a very good pie. It was just a little too sweet for me, but very good just the same. I made exactly as directed. I made one deep dish and it was a very large pie. Thanks for the great recipe.
