With the holiday season now in full swing, I’ve been asked by several people to please make my delish pecan pie. This is a typical request that I receive every year, and I’m happy to oblige!
Pecan pie is my favorite and it has taken a bit of tweaking to get to a final recipe I enjoy and that everyone else seems to love too. It is rich, decadent, and completely indulgent – all the qualities of a genuine pecan pie. Heck – if you can’t indulge during the holidays, when can you?
The best part? It’s easy-peasy. The full recipe is listed at the bottom of this post.

The ingredients are pretty straightforward, and I typically buy frozen pie crusts to save some headache:
Don’t forget the pecans (the best part)!
Combine and blend:
Pour into the crust, and don’t forget to protect your crusts (use tin foil in a pinch) to prevent burning:
And VOILA! The finished product is below, ready and waiting for a dollop of whipped cream.

I like to eat it warm with whipped cream. Ideally while drinking a spiked egg nog in honor of the season. It is YUM-O-LICIOUS!
My granny always made the pie, but now that we live so far away I’ve been terrified to try pecan on my own! But this looks so simple! Thanks so much!
It really is so easy! But tastes like it took a lot more work – a great combo. 🙂
Oh my gosh I LOVE pecan pie!
Me too!
Drooooling!! I love love love pecan pie! This recipe looks 100% amazing!

Such a great recipe! I used to make mini pecan pies every Thanksgiving and gobbled them up myself as well, but just found out last year I’m allergic to pecans 🙁 So now I make them for everyone else! Your recipe looks fantastic!
Oh what a bummer to be allergic to pecans! I love the mini pecan pies too – great for snacking.
Pecan pie isn’t something i have ever tackled, my mother in law usually makes it, but if I make this I think the hubs will be thrilled! Thanks!
Great – I hope you and he both enjoy!
I’ve never made a pecan pie before, but now I want to!
It’s easy! Hope you enjoy.
This looks so good! I somehow forgot to have a piece of our family’s pecan pie this Thanksgiving. Now I’m craving some!
I hear you – there is always Christmas!
I haven’t made too many pies in my life but after looking at your pie, i really want to try it. I feel like i can make it too 😀
You can – it’s so easy!
I love pecan pie! I didn’t know it would be this easy to make, definitely will try to make it :). Love that you buy frozen pie crust, anything to save some headaches 🙂
Haha yes! I’ve done the homemade crust and – eh – I’d rather save the energy and go frozen.
This looks heavenly!!
Thank you Tess!
