Pecan Pie

For the edge, I used pie crust cutters from Williams-Sonoma
Mmmm, of all the pies in the world, I think I love pecan THE BEST !!  What is it about it...it's richness, it's nuttiness, it's gooey-ness...I don't know??  However, I will be happy to share the recipe that I like to use.  It's actually adapted from Dear Abby's pecan pie recipe that was printed in her column.  Here's my adapted version:

9" unbaked pie crust
1 cup light corn syrup                                                
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/4 t. salt
2 t.vanilla

1 heaping cup pecan halves, chopped

In a large bowl, combine corn syrup, sugar, eggs, butter, salt & vanilla.  Put the chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie crust.  Pour the filling on top of the nuts.

Bake the pie at 350 for 45-50 minutes or until set.  If the edges of the pie crust start to brown too quickly, cover with foil for the remaining cooking time.  I like to use one of those pie crust protector rings.

Cool the pie for several hours on a cooling rack before slicing.  Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

  6. Pecan is, hands down, my favorite pie. I read once there's close to 500 calories in each slice and that sure took the fun out of it. :(

    Yours sure looks good....

  8. Truly my most favorite pie ever too.
    There are a lot of good ones, but nothing better than a super rich and gooey pecan pie.
    Mmmm.
    Your crust leaves are so pretty! May have to put those on my Christmas list. I am the worst pie crust pincher, honestly!
