Jump to recipeI grew up eating some of the best pecan pies. I remember going to our family reunion for my dad’s side of the family in August every year (we still do this). When I would walk in, I would head straight for the dessert table to see what the options were (can’t a girl love desserts?). There it would be one of only two pecan pies that I am still not sure to this day who makes them! They are so delicious, and I still look forward to it every year.
As I have gotten older and found a love for baking, I knew this had to be one of the first things I tried to master. It is one of my favorite recipes. I get excited every year around Christmas and Thanksgiving when I bake ALOT of these pies! It is good, easy, and everyone will love it
