Unfortunately, this did not turn out for me. It was really hard, so maybe I baked it too long. I followed the recipe exactly so I am still confused... I made it for Xmas and had to throw it out. I did taste it beforehand the inside tasted ok, but I was upset that it didn't turn out as planned. :(

Fabulous, fabulous. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. I made this twice last year and twice this year - followed recipe exactly as written (once I omitted the quartered pecans and it was still fabulous!). My non-pie eating husband begged me to make this again for Cmas. Thanks for such a great recipe!!

The best pecan pie ever.My family likes it even better when I exchange pancake syrup(not real maple syrup) for the corn syrup.

First of all, thank you, Ingrid for this recipe. i only made some minor changes: 1) bought a flaky crust to save time (which, by the way, complimented very well) 2)replaced dark corn syrup with maple/pancake syrup 3)added 2 tsp of vanilla extract to the filling as others suggested 4)coarsely crushed two 6oz. bags of pecans to mix in with the filling only and saved some pecan halves for the top. I didn't change the measurements of anything because it came out to be really good and it wasn't too sweet. My friends jokingly said I can sell it. This is a good recipe and it is going in the recipe box because i know i will make it again. I will submit a picture of the pie i made.

I used the recipe for the filling and instead used a ready-made pie crust. When filling my crust I did not first place quartered pecans at the bottom; I simply added them to the syrup mixture. I did, however, keep the best-looking pecan halves for the top and arranged them in a nice spiral-type pattern. I was going to add vanilla as others suggested but forgot; it's okay, because the pie didn't really need it. This was a wonderful and sweet pecan pie. Thanks for taking my memories home!

This was the first pecan pie I'd ever made, and it was incredibly delicious! My boyfriend and I polished off the whole thing in just over 24 hours, I think. I followed reviewers' comments and added vanilla and flour to the base, and coated the pecan halves on top with a the honey/brown sugar/butter glaze. I was nervous that it would be too pecan-y and not have any of the traditional pecan pie goo, so I started out with just 1/2 c. each of the crushed, quartered and halved pecans, but I ended up adding the remaining 1/2 c. of pecan halves back in to fully cover the top of the pie. I was also concerned that the pie crust, being just a simple butter crust, would be too hard, but the texture was perfect for a pecan pie--crumbly, rich, and shortbready.

I realized, after making this pie and reading all of the reviews, that I actually DO like syrupy, sweet pecan pies. :) This pie gets 3 stars just on personal taste; this isn't what I expect from pecan pies, and whether or not that's a good thing depends on the individual preference. I put in half as many chopped and whole pecans as called for, and left out the crushed all together, and it was still an amazing amount of pecans. I only added a teaspoon of flour and that was enough for me. I used a Pillsbury crust, but considering this was my first time ever to make a pie, this was pretty easy and turned out nice. This is a great recipe if this is what you're looking for. I think I'll try something different next time.

This was the first pecan pie I have made and I was very happy with the way it turned out. I baked it for an hour, but near the end I had to cover the crust, it was getting too dark. Anyway, this pie was the most popular one at thanksgiving dinner.

Full of flavor and nuts! Awesome job, Ingrid. Thanks for the enlightenment. This was my FIRST attempt at making pecan pie, and I am so happy to have found and tried your recipe. Super easy! Only variations: Saved a step by going with a prepared pie shell; added a tblsp of vanilla and dash of cinnamon; and instead of layering the bottom with quartered nuts, I opted to chop those and add them with the others. Also added a tblsp of molasses, which I think lends a richness to the filling. Could even reduce the nuts by half a cup and still have a packed and wonderful pie. It was a HUGE hit and is going in the annuls of my recipe book. Thanks so much!

I am English but decided to cook a Thanksgiving dinner this year and baked a Pecan Pie and a Sweet Potato Pie for the very first time. This is the recipe I used for the Pecan Pie and it received 5 stars from everyone. (It only needed 40 mins in the oven though.) I will defintely bake it again. Thanks

Excellent! I made 2 pies and they were gone the next day! I omitted the quartered pecans for the bottom. I also used a store bought crust.

This is THE BEST pecan pie!Don't waste your time looking for any other pecan pie recipe! My friends all think that I am a culinary genius, thanks to this recipe. As other reviewers have said, definitely add cinnamon and vanilla. I also add a sprinkle of clove.

I have been searching for "THE PECAN PIE" for 30 yrs and EUREKA! This recipe, in my opinion does need vanilla added to it, just add to your own taste, for you beginners that is the only way to cook or bake. But remember, this "IS" a science, so simply stick with playing with flavors at first, then with experience you will learn to change textures etc. This pie is a keeper, it serves 12 for a reason...it is very rich. This recipe is now a family tradition! THANK YOU INGRID H. FOR SHARING!!!!!
