Old Fashion Pecan Pie

Indulge in the timeless goodness of an old fashion pecan pie recipe that’s sure to evoke memories of grandma’s house. The key to the perfect flavor is the balance between the pie sweetness and nuttiness of pecans toasted to golden perfection.

Southern Pecan Pie Recipe

You’ll bake this pie until the filling is set and the crust is a beautiful golden brown and it fills your home with the irresistible aroma of carmelized sugar and toasted pecans.

I serve this while it’s still warm with dollops of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert that’s guaranteed to satisfy the most powerful sweet tooth.

This old recipe is a timless favorite that never goes out of style. It really is the perfect choice for any holiday, celebration, special occasion or any time you crave some nostalgia.

Here’s What You’ll Need

• Pecans
• Corn Syrup
• Sugar
• Pie Crust
• Eggs
• Salt, flour

Here’s How You Do It

1. Mix the ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Pat out your pie crust.
3. Bake! It’s really that simple!

Tips and Tricks

• You’ll want some pecan pieces and some halves to make your pie just right. About half pieces and half halves usually works!
• It’s that heapting Tbs of flour that makes for a light upper crust (it’s barely discernable, but it’s there).
• I prefer the dark karo for this recipe, but you can use the light and it will taste just fine.
• If you find that the crusts of your pie are starting to brown too quickly, cover with some aluminum foil until the pie is done.
• The pie is done when the center wiggles just barely, like santa’s tummy.

PRO TIP: Store leftover pecans in the freezer to keep them as fresh as possible.

Storage, Keeping and Reheating

Keep leftover pecan pie in the refrigerator, covered in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Pecan pie doesn’t freeze well.

You can reheat the pie by placing on a microwave safe dish and heating for 1 minute intervals or place in the oven in an oven safe dish for 10 minutes.
