My Favorite Pecan Pie

"I'm making an attempt to compile all of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes so that I've got them all in one place safe and sound. I've been making this pie for several years and it's always a big hit. The secret, I think, is the three different sizes of the pecans. It seems like they incorporate throughout the filling better. Very crunch, nutty and delicious."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Brush egg white over unbaked pie shell. This is optional. I do it because it helps to keep the bottom of the crust from getting soggy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrups, brown sugar, butter, salt and finely chopped pecans.
  • Arrange the quartered pecan halves on the bottom of the pie shell.
  • Gently pour filling mixture over quartered pecan halves.
  • Arrange pecan halves on top of filling.
  • Bake for 50 - 60 minutes or until filling is set and fairly firm.
  • Serve with fresh whipped cream, if desired.

  1. You can sneak a fry off my plate or even drink the very last sip of my drink...and most certainly you can flirt with my husand, but of all these things you may do, please never eat my last piece of pecan pie. Made for PAC Spring 2011.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a midwestern girl, born and raised. I married my highschool sweetheart and we've got 3 awesome kiddos. I'm a retailer by trade but love to cook and especially bake. Cake decorating is my hobby. Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday. I love dogs (Proud mama of a pug, a wheaten terrier and a Teddy Bear) and reading, traveling and VW bugs. I love to entertain and cook for friends and family. It thrills me to watch someone eat something I made and totally enjoy it. My perfect Sunday is cooking a big "comfort food" meal while my family watches football.
