Southern Pecan Pie

10/16/16

This southern pecan pie recipe is made with Karo syrup, toasted pecans, and a store bought crust. You’re gonna love this old fashioned pecan pie!

This Southern Pecan Pie is sweet and crunchy.

I love a good old fashioned pecan pie during the holidays. Especially if it’s a southern pecan pie recipe! In this post i’m going to share my southern style pecan pie recipe with you all, step-by-step!

Southern Pecan Pie is a classic holiday dessert!

I hate to brag, but I do believe that this is the best pecan pie recipe in the world. Seriously, I do! Every time that I use this recipe my pecan pie comes out amazing!

I do like to use a shortcut for this recipe. Instead of making a homemade pie crust for this pecan pie, I prefer to use a store bought crust – just to make everything easier, and to save time. If you want to make a homemade crust for your pecan pie, you can use my homemade crust recipe here.

Using store-bought crust for this Southern Pecan Pie makes this recipe easier.

What makes this pecan pie so good? The ingredients! I’m not stingy with the ingredients. I add lots of pecans, a nice amount of eggs ( because we don’t do the runny custard around here boo boo!), and I use bourbon vanilla extract. I usually buy my bourbon vanilla from Trader Joes. However, I’ve seen it at QFC ( which is a Kroger store) as well.  If you can’t find bourbon vanilla, feel free to use regular vanilla.

I also add a dash of ground nutmeg into pie filling! It just balances everything out, and adds a lil more flavor.

Now who’s ready for some of the best darn southern pecan pie ever?

Check out my video tutorial below, and print the recipe!

    My fiancé is OBSESSED with pecan pie… I am debating on making this recipe or your bars… I am a non baker but am willing to give it a try because I know it will make him happy. I am also not a huge fan of pecan pie lol. Which recipe should I try first? A. Because it will knock his socks off and B. Hopefully make me a pecan pie or bar lover.. thanks in advance!! Love your recipes!

    Rosie, the pecan pie looks delicious and easy to make. The question i need to ask is the store bought pie crust, do you thaw it out or leave frozen.

    Can I use your graham cracker crust with this pie, would the bake time be the same?

      No, and the time would be different.

    This was my first time making a pie. Me and my kids watched your video on this recipe and made 2 perfect pecan pies. I just did exactly what you said and they came out perfect.
