The Pioneer Woman’s Perfect Pecan Pie

My take on The Pioneer Woman’s pecan pie recipe is it’s, without a doubt, the best pecan pie I’ve ever made. I read about Ree’s pecan pie on her blog and I even watched her make it on Food Network.

So, when my family asked me to bring pecan pie to our Thanksgiving dinner one year, I knew worlds had collided … the heavens were about to open … and angels would start singing — fate had called upon my humble kitchen.

The Pioneer Woman's pecan pie recipe is, without a doubt, the best pecan pie I've ever made.

No? Too much? Haha, ok, yep.

Truth is, even though I’ve made a lot of pie over the years, I’ve only made pecan pie once. It turned out good, but I didn’t want to just make a good pie, I wanted to make Ree’s pie.

And I really, really wanted to make her whiskey maple cream sauce to go with it, but there just weren’t enough hours in the day to allot time for a run to the liquor store.

Oh well. The Pioneer Woman, I am not.

The family is going to love Thanksgiving dessert, that is if the pie lasts past 4 p.m. today…

The Pioneer Woman's Perfect Pecan Pie

Yield: 6-8
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Additional Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes

My take on The Pioneer Woman's pecan pie recipe is it's, without a doubt, the best pecan pie I've ever made.

Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust (I buy pre-made pie dough in the fridge isle)
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
  • 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 oz pecans, chopped
  • 4 oz pecans, halved

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the pie crust in a 9" pie plate, crimp the edges.
  2. Pour the chopped and halved pecans evenly into the bottom of the pie crust, and then set it aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugars, corn syrup, salt, butter and vanilla.
  4. Pour the mixture over the pecans in the pie crust, and then bake the pie until it's almost no longer jiggly—about 1 hour and 10 minutes. If the edge of the crust looks like it's browning too quickly, put foil around the edge.

Notes

Allow the pie to cool before serving.
