Wow!! The pie looks gorgeous. Pecan pie is one of my all time favorites - along with strawberry rhubarb. Yours is definitely one to try.

Thanks for sharing.

You did not tell us how you made the filling. How do you make it?

I really love Pecan Pie, though I'm a huge fan of my aunt's. If she makes it for Thanksgiving, maybe I'll ask her for the recipe and see how it compares with yours!

Okay, that was very, very easy to put together, and I took a picture of the results and posted it on my blog. The only thing I forgot was to put some whole pecans on the top as a garnish. I was lucky to find fresh ones with good flavor, and the pie looks like it's supposed to look, so we only have to wait until after dinner to find out if I did it right.

Also, I threw a dollop of molasses in the mix for my pumpkin pies, because I saw that mentioned somewhere else. We'll see how those turn out as well.

Elise, I had to let you know that I made the pecan pie using your recipe and it was fabulous! Best pecan pie I've ever tasted and I'm going to make it again to take to Mom's for Christmas but will double the recipe for two pies. Thanks again for sharing your recipe. It's a keeper :))

This pie is fabulous and easy! I highly recommend!

HEY this is the best pecan pie ever!! try it!! byee

I made this yesterday. My first pecan pie and it turned out beautifully. I followed the pie crust tutorial and was so pleased with the result.
I wasn't a fan of pecan pie until the smell filled my whole house, making my guests ooh and ah.
Thanks again, Elise.

One of my all time favorite pies. This looks just like the ones my mom used to bake. I must try it.

Mmmm.... this pecan pie was delicious and SO easy to make! The molasses is a very interesting twist. I was browsing the internet for the "perfect pecan pie" recipe for Thanksgiving and cringed every time I saw one cup of corn syrup and one cup of sugar on the list of ingredients. I love your site and should have known to look here first! :-)

Love it. May try substituting the vanilla with a little bourbon....I do declare (how "Southern" of me).

I'll bet some chocolate would be nice, too.

Hi Elise,
I'd love to make this pie but can't tolerate corn syrup. Do you suppose the recipe would work if the corn syrup was omitted entirely?
Thanks.

Hi! I love your website. It's one of my goto's for recipes and ideas. I loved this pecan pie when I made it, but because it has so little sugar, I garnished it with some coarsly chopped pecan pralines. it was WONDERFUL! I also added a dash of maple extract so that the pralines and pie would marry well (I use the extract6 in my praline mixture)

I made this for Thanksgiving yesterday and it didn't last the day. People went for seconds. Awesome and simple recipe.

This pie is absolutely perfect. I don't feel nearly as bad after eating a piece.

This did turn out quite well. I think I overcooked it a bit so do watch it. I didn't chop the pecans as they were small. I would make it again!

I liked the idea of having a less sweet pecan pie. I didn't have quite enough corn syrup so I substituted in some sugar free pancake syrup, the pie came out wonderfully! My husband took it to work and the guys said pecan pie is too sweet to eat, but once they tried it, they were very impressed! I am passing this recipe on to other family members! Thank you for such an enjoyable recipe!!!!

I just wanted to add another thumbs up for this pie. I made it for my family last night (super easy!) and everyone Loved it. I Absolutely love that it's not super sweet.

Can I substitute corn syrup with something else? We do not get corn syrup here.

what is mollasses? please explain. how does it look?

thanks

Hi Arusha,

You can substitute corn syrup with golden syrup, and molasses with dark treacle.

I have not been making pecan pie very long and every expierenced person says you must bake till it does not shake this drives me crazy , is this really true/ ?

Pecan Pie:

No doubt this recipe will produce a perfect pecan pie, but I have experimented and would like to share my recipe with others on this fabulous website. Here in Quebec, we are producers (and connesuoirs) of all sorts of maple products.

Pecan Pie, Quebec-Style

1 cup Grade A maple syrup*
2 cups chopped pecan pieces
4 level tbsp flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla

Whisk the syrup and flour together to get out the lumps. Add the remaining ingredients.

Pour into a 9'' shallow pie shell, whether homeade or bought.

Bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 min. The filling should rise and when jiggled, the pie should feel solid. Extra attention should be made not to burn the pecans by over-baking.
* inferior / lighter syrups won't taste right-the syrup should be a golden brown colour

Enjoy!!

I can't believe I haven't commented on this recipe yet! I made this for my Dad last year at Thanksgiving and wanted to make it for him again. He loves pecan pie, and this has to be the best version there is! I'll be making it for him again this year.

Thanks!

I've never made a Pecan Pie, but have already printed this one out to make for Thanksgiving.
I have this beautiful glass, fluted tart dish and was wondering if I could use that instead of a regular pie pan??

I've have been wanting to make pecan pie for years, but never bothered because of the huge amount of sweetners in it. Your recipe is a Godsend, as I have been trying to think of a way to make it where it would not be so sweet. I've actually never eaten it because it looks like it would give me diabetes. Finally, I can try Pecan Pie as this recipe seems very sensible and sounds delicious. I love, love, love pecans, so I will definitely be trying out your recipe. Thanks for sharing. I will be writing you back to tell you how good it was. (As if you didn't know already. ;-))

WOW! I made your recipe instead of our usual pecan pie recipe that called for 2 cups sugar and 1/3 cup butter, and it made the world of difference in flavor. I didn't realize all this time with my old recipe that I wasn't tasting the pecans, all I was tasting was sugar! I give this recipe 5 stars, 6 if I could :)
PS- it was such a hit at Thanksgiving I had to e-mail your URL to 3 people that fell in love with pecans all over again

Thanks for this recipe! It was easy and taste WONDERFUL! Big holiday hit.

After having numerous tries at making a good pecan pie we happened on your recipe and made one and I must say it was the best we've ever made and is as good as any I've ever tasted. We only had the dark Karo and and it was very good. Can't wait to make one with the light Karo to see if it comes out with a lighter colored filling. Thumbs up to anyone wanting to try this. If you can't make a good one with this recipe you might want to try making a cake and give up on the pies.

I've made this pie for the past few years for Thanksgiving and Christmas for my family. It is, by far, the best pecan pie that any of us have ever had. I do add a tiny bit of dark rum along with the vanilla, which we all love. This pie is AMAZING!!!
