Pecan Pie
I made an easy pecan pie. I want to share it with you in time for Thanksgiving. The recipe is at the end of the post.

I have tried making this pie with dark brown sugar instead of the white sugar pictured. I couldn’t tell much difference in taste or anything else, except for the slightly darker color. I prefer brown sugar over white sugar whenever I can, so that will probably be what I use for the future. You beat the eggs lightly, then mix in everything except the pecans.
Then add the pecans.
Here is the pie unbaked.
And here it is puffed up, fresh out of the oven. It sank down a little as it cooled.
AFTER!!
It was delicious. Even my husband who doesn’t like nut pies liked it!
I have a recipe for a pecan cheesecake pie. I’ll have to make that again soon…

Hi Liberty,
Rick’s two favorites, cheese cake and pecan pie, in one pie. Wow. I will make this. Usually he and Jenna fight over the pecan pies so I will have to make two!
I am wondering if it’s possible to make home made caramel ice cream topping? I generally make my own crust and would prefer to make the caramel icing as well.
Hi Lidia, Making your own caramel is a great idea! Here is a link to a recipe that I saved. It is for salted caramel topping, so you could omit or reduce the salt. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/94153448437457947/ https://bakerbynature.com/6-minute-small-batch-salted-caramel-sauce/
I just love pecan pie; I oftentimes will add a cup of chocolate chips to mine just to mix it up every now and then. Thanks for sharing at the Hello Fall party.
You’re welcome!
This looks and sounds delicious, so I will definitely be trying your recipe very soon #a!jttlebitofeverything@_karendennis
