For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of melted butter. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it develops a nutty aroma and golden-brown color. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the mixture. If the pie crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. To test for doneness, gently shake the pie. The filling should be mostly set, with only a slight jiggle in the very center. This pie is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

May 6, 2025My crust browned a little too quickly, but covering it with foil halfway through baking solved the problem. This is definitely my new go-to pecan pie recipe!

Oct 1, 2024This recipe is a game-changer! I've always found pecan pie too sweet, but this version is perfectly balanced. The custard is so creamy and the pecans add just the right amount of crunch.

Oct 27, 2023I was a little hesitant to try a pecan pie without corn syrup, but I'm so glad I did! It's so much lighter and more flavorful than traditional recipes. My family loved it!
