Recipes FAQ

Can I use a different type of nut?

While pecans are the traditional nut used in pecan pie, you can certainly experiment with other types of nuts. Walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts all work well in this recipe.

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this pie ahead of time. Simply cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the pie for up to 3 months. To thaw, simply place it in the refrigerator overnight.

Can I use a store-bought pie crust?

Recipe Tips

  • Be sure to use a deep-dish pie plate to accommodate all of the filling.
  • If you're using a homemade pie crust, be sure to blind bake it before adding the filling.
  • To prevent the crust from burning, cover the edges with foil or a pie crust shield during baking.
  • If the filling starts to brown too quickly, cover the top with foil and continue baking until the pie is fully set.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the filling for a boozy pecan pie.

Enjoy your delicious pecan pie!
