Pecan Pie

By tschnet1

Pecan pie is one of our absolute favorites. It’s sweet and nutty, and always brings back fond memories, so there’s a special place in our hearts for this classic treat. While we’ve made maple pecan pie and the ever-popular pecan pie bars (perfect for any get together), we realized we hadn’t yet shared our favorite of them allthe classic pecan pie!

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F and position oven rack to middle of oven. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.

Prepare pie shell according to (packaging) directions.

Place pecans in food processor and pulse for 5 seconds, or until roughly chopped. Note: if you don’t have a food processor, place nuts in a re-sealable plastic bag and use a rolling pin or other heavy object to roughly chop/break them into smaller pieces.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, honey, butter and vanilla extract.

Fold in pecans and mix so they’re thoroughly coated. Then pour over hot crust.

Return to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until filling has set.

Remove and let cool completely before serving.
