Best Pecan Pie Recipe
This homemade pecan pie is my favorite pie ever. It’s swoon worthy with its layers of silky, caramel-like custard base topped with rich, nutty pecans all cocooned in a buttery, flaky crust. This pecan pie recipe is ideal for Thanksgiving and Christmas because it’s make ahead (tastes better the next day) and crazy easy made in ONE BOWL. Best of all, this pecan pie recipe will teach you how to get the perfect consistency every time – no runny or hard filling here! Don't miss the trouble shooting section and the video tutorial with step by step instructions for the best pecan pie every time.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
CRUST
2
Prepare pie crust recipe through brushing with egg wash and chilling (don’t bake). SEE NOTE/WARNING IF USING GLASS PIE PAN.
3
FILLING
4
Place a rimmed baking sheet on the lowest rack of the oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
5
Add all the filling ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk just until combined.
6
Pour chopped pecans into the bottom of the chilled pie shell. Pour filling mixture over the top.
7
BAKE
8
Carefully transfer pie to the rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F until the center registers 200 degrees F on an instant read thermometer Check the pie at ⏱️ 60 minutes but expect the pie to take closer to ⏱️ 75-90 minutes (mine takes ⏱️ 85 minutes. The pie bakes longer than other recipes because of the extra butter). Keep in mind aluminum pans will take less time to bake than glass or ceramic. You will need to cover the top with foil or a pie shield towards the end of baking (I cover after ⏱️ 50 minutes).
9
If you don’t have a thermometer (highly recommend one!) to see when the pie is done, tap the center surface of the pie lightly – it should spring back when done. Shake the pan, the center should be mostly set and only jiggle slightly.
10
COOL
11
Let the pie cool COMPLETELY on wire rack in order for the filling to set, about ⏱️ 2 hours. Serve at room temperature.
