Recipe View 50 mins Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set but with a slight jiggle in the center, approximately 45 to 50 minutes. To prevent the crust from over-browning, cover the edges with foil or a pie shield during the last 20 minutes of baking. (50 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider browning the butter before adding it to the syrup mixture. This adds a nutty depth that complements the pecans beautifully.
Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the pie. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant.
If you're short on time, a store-bought pie crust works well, but a homemade crust elevates the pie to another level. Consider using an all-butter crust for the best flavor and flakiness.
Serve this Pecan Pie with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent experience.
