Easy Pecan Pie, is a delicious sweet dessert, loaded with pecan nuts and a buttery toffee-like filling, in a sweet pie crust. Always popular at Thanksgiving.
No Thanksgiving is complete without a Pecan Pie and a Pumpkin Pie! For this recipe, we have made it simple, so you can choose to use a shop-bought pie crust, or make your own pie crust with our easy shortcrust pastry recipe. Sandra's made a wonderful Pecan Pie!
It's a very easy recipe and perfect for the holiday season, although you could have this pie any time of year, it's just so delicious!
If you've never tried pecan pie before, you will love it! It's got a sweet, sticky toffee-like filling, with crucny pecan nuts and then traditionally, decorated on the top with an arrangement of more pecans. All of this delicious gooey filling is baked in a sweet, butter pie crust, and left to chill so it can set. (don't try to slice this hot from the oven as the filling will ooze everywhere!)
