Mom's Pecan Pie

The recipe was very easy to follow. The only thing i did different was modify the sugar. I used 1/2 cup corn syrup, and 1/2 brown sugar and it was still very sweet for me. I will modify the sugar again the next time i make it. This is a definite keeper in my receipe book👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This is a fabulous base recipe. I did use two cups of pecans, as others have suggested. Toasting the nuts is the secret. This is not a deep-dish pie. I use a regular pie dish. For the deep-dish to come out correctly, I had to make a double recipe of filling. I like my pies to reach the top of the plate. ... while baking, I have covered the pecans and I have baked them uncovered. Either way is good. If you like dark, toasted pecans, then bake uncovered for the full time. Finally, I prefer whole pecans. This pie is so beautiful. Save the pecan pieces for cookies.

I am assuming that you defrost the frozen pie crust before adding the filing??????

This was my first pecan pie I made; I used some of the suggestions below (adding more pecans and using dark and light syrup) and the pie was the BEST he's EVER HAD! He added whip cream and scrap the plate for any residue before getting another slice..he also called his mother and told her about the pecan pie experience he'd just experienced. This has been saved to my pie collections and will get used often. THANK YOU

This was the first pie I have ever made and it was fabulous! I made one small tweek by using 2/3 cup of sugar and 1/3 cup of dark brown sugar just for a little more richness (plus I didn't have any dark corn syrup). But it was oh so yummy. The hubby couldn't say enough about it. Great recipe!

Omg, seriously the best pecan pie! It was my first time making pecan pie for Thanksgiving dinner & it's def a keeper!! I added 1/2 extra cup pecan pieces, substituted the corn syrup for maple syrup, & regular cane sugar for brown sugar...so delicious! I can't say enough good things about it, so happy with my first batch of homemade pecan pie!

Sounds delish but I have 10 inch deep dish pie pans. How do I adjust recipe for the bigger pie pan

The first time I made this exactly as the recipe stated and it was very good though I do make my own crust. The second time I increased the pecans to 2 cups as others have suggested. I used half light and half dark corn syrup (3 oz each). OMG! It was declared THE best pecan pie I had ever made by the entire family. Definitely a keeper.

Best pecan pie I have ever made -- I agree with adding extra pecans and reducing dark corn syrup by 1/8 cup.

This recipe came out great. I used 2 cups of pecans and a tad bit more butter. The only thing I would change is adding a bit more corn syrup. I would like the consistency to be a little thicker. However my family loved it. The enjoyed the fact it wasn't too sweet.

I started out making this for my track coach who absolutely loves pecan pie. But before giving it to him I thought I'd better keep the first pie, taste it, and, if it was good, make him a separate one. Boy am I glad I did that! When I cut into it, the whole filling was one soupy mess and it was WAY too sweet (even for pecan pie). I cooked it for the entire 55 minutes, but maybe I needed to cook it longer? I definitely did not give it to him.

I adapted this recipe and used individual frozen pie tart shells. I used the dark corn syrup. This recipe made 16 individual pies and were amazing! I would recommend baking one sheet of pie tarts at a time. Otherwise you have to rotate the baking sheets for even browing. Time wise it was closer to 20 minutes.

This is FABULOUS. And easy. I will make it over and over again. I followed the directions exactly..I used dark corn syrup and Marie Callender's frozen pie shell. THE BEST. (Took an extra 5 minutes in the oven.)

Hi guys, i have tryed this awesome recipe. try it out.... Pecan Pie

This was the 1st pecan pie I have ever made & it was not only easy but also delicious. I accidentally got the regular size crust instead of deep dish & it still turned out fine. I used 1/2 cup light corn syrup like someone suggested but I will try with 3/4 cup at Christmas time just to see which I prefer. Thanks so much for sharing.

This was a fantastic easy recipe, will definitely save this as my go to pecan pie recipe.

THIS IS THE BEST PECAN PIE EVER!!!! I do believe that baking the pecans and using 1/4 less corn syrup makes the difference. I know it's a hit each time I bake it!!!! As a matter of fact, I'm actually baking one right now!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!!

My husband claims to be a Pecan Pie expert and he loved this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out delicious. This will be my go-to Pecan Pie recipe from now on. Very easy and super delish!

Made this for Thanksgiving and thought it was the best pecan pie I've ever made or had! I love pecans but often find pecan pie too sweet/rich to eat too much of, but this pie had the perfect balance. Highly recommend for the holidays!
