I wanted to make a pie from scratch, for a very long time. My husbands favorite pie is pecan pie and we brought back fresh pecans from a road trip we took to South Carolina. I was not sure if it would have been enough fresh pecans so I also used store bought unshelled pecans (you can taste the difference). The recipe and video was very easy to follow and my crust didn't turn out too bad. The only thing I would say it didn't take an hour to cook. I actually had to take it out after 50 minutes and probably should have taken it out at around 40 minutes.

Perfect. I like my pie on the nutty side rather than too sweet/gooey, and this recipe gives a good balance.

I did try yesterday from Switzerland and exchange Corn syrup (because we don't have) with agave syrup and it was VERY VERY good.. not as beautiful that yours and maybe a bit too cook (don't know well my oven) I will do better next time

My husband had been harrassing me about a pecan pie all year...he LOVED this one! I made a pretty pattern on them also. I used regular size pie crust and was able to make 2 pies...I used the flour like others had suggested, and they came out BEAUTIFULLY! I didn't have any dark corn syrup so I used some maple syrup. Please watch the video, it's super helpful!

Tasty but I would prefer more of the caramel goo (pie filling). Will make more goo next time.

I added vanilla to the filling, and I cooked the filling on the stovetop so I could use it in prebaked tart shells. Really good!

Excellent pecan pie! I used a Pillsbury pie crust, so I can't comment on the crust, but the filling was amazing. Maybe it would be better with vanilla, but I had no complaints. I love all the pecans. This was the best pecan pie recipe I've used, and I've tried a few from this site. This pecan pie wasn't overly sweet, which is amazing for a pecan pie, even I liked it and I don't like pecan pie. I made this recipe as written. Very yummy!

I read the other reviews and made a few adjustments to the original recipe: I roasted the pecans, cut them into 1/4s and mixed these in with the wet ingredients - I added 11/2 tsp vanilla to the wet stuff. I then laid another cup of roasted whole pecans on the top of the pie in a pretty pattern before baking. I baked the pie on the bottom rack for 70 minutes, and there was no burning or drying out. It was delicious!! Roasting the nuts reduces the overly sweet, sugary taste that others complained about. I used my own pie crust recipe, so I cannot comment on the crust. A ready made pie crust would work just fine as the juices from the pie center are sweet and very flavorful.

Great recipe, but I did make a number of changes after doing a few test runs pre-Thanksgiving. Like others have suggested, I added 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 tbsp of flour. I also cut the light corn syrup to 1/2 cup and substituted the remainder with dark corn syrup and added 1 tbsp of maple syrup and 1 tbsp of bourbon (I used Maker's Mark) which adds to depth of flavor. I cut the amount of pecans and also saved a bit of the filling to pour over the top layer of pecans so they would have a glaze on them. Delicious! Highly recommend.
