Three small words can describe a slice of homemade pecan pie “To Die For”! This is my all time favorite pie. It’s about the easiest pie a person can make but it’s absolutely decadent. I get requests for this pie all of the time for Community Fund Raising Dessert Auctions. It always gets the highest bid.
If you are making your own pie crust, take a look at my homemade pumpkin pie recipe. It gives directions on making your own pie crust and also has video instructions to make it even easier!
Directions:
Yield: One pie (6-8 servings)
- Cover bottom of prepared pie crust with pecans.

- Pour over pecans.
- Bake in preheated 350°F oven for approx. 1 hour or until filling is completely gelled and moves as a solid unit, being careful not to over bake.
