It’s the kind that everyone gobbles up around Thanksgiving and then comes back for more until the entire pie tin is left with barely a crumb. I’m always asked to make this family favorite homemade pecan pie every holiday season, and soon, so will you!
A pecan pie is essentially a custard pie, and a liquid center is almost always the result of underbaking. The Karo Classic Pecan Pie recipe calls for baking the pie for 60 to 70 minutes at 350 degrees. In some ovens, however, the pie can take 75 minutes or more.
Best Pecan Pie Recipe
Truly, this is the best pecan pie recipe. It yields a wonderful flavor and texture. Plus, you may very well have everything you need in your pantry right now to make it. What are you waiting for?
- Pecans – naturally, these are the whole basis of the pie.
- Eggs – they are the way to bind this dessert together.
- Light corn syrup – this keeps the pie from crystallizing while adding sweetness.
- Sugar – it balances out the rest of the sweetness. Brown sugar can also be used for a more nutty molasses taste.
- Butter – for that rich taste. No shortening necessary!
- Vanilla extract – just a touch of contrast to tame that sweetness in the right direction.
How to Store Pecan Pie
Because of the eggs, you will need to store your pecan pie in the fridge. Wrap it with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. In our house, we never get to that point. It’s always gone by then!
