Tips for Making the Best Pecan Pie

  • If you know how to make pie crust from scratch, that’s great. If you don’t or you’re not in the mood, use store-bought!
  • Spray the measuring cup you use for corn syrup to prevent it from sticking.
  • Can’t find corn syrup anywhere? Replace it with honey, maple syrup, golden syrup, or agave. Don’t substitute with pancake syrup; it’s too thin.
  • Use a glass pie dish for baking the pie. That way, you can check the crust’s condition during baking.
  • If you notice the crust is browning too quickly during baking, cover the edges with strips of aluminum foil.
  • For a richer flavor and a beautiful amber hue, use dark corn syrup instead of light.
  • You’ll know the pie is ready when the center looks puffed but slightly jiggly. The outer edges should be set.
  • Make the pie even more delicious with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

How to Blind Bake the Crust

If you want to ensure the crust becomes nice

and crispy, not soggy at all, blind baking is a great option.

This essentially means partially baking the crust.

It firms it up enough to hold the custard filling without turning into a sad, soggy mess.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Line an unbaked pie crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Fill it with pie weights. If you don’t have any, uncooked rice and dried beans make good alternatives.

2. Bake the crust at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Remove the weights and lining and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

How to Make Ahead

You can bake the pie 1 to 3 days ahead. Let it cool completely, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it.

Take it out of the fridge 1 hour before planning to serve it.

If you still want to bake the pie on the same day, simply prepare the crust, filling, and topping and store them in separate containers.

Assemble the pie and bake it when you’re ready.

How to Freeze Pecan Pie

Because it freezes well, pecan pie is the perfect dessert to prepare in advance.

Make at least 3 pies at once, freeze them, and serve them for last-minute gatherings!

To freeze, wrap the pie in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Place it in a freezer bag and freeze.

Frozen pecan pie will keep for up to 3 months.

Thaw the pie in the refrigerator overnight and bring it to room temperature.

For that freshly baked effect, reheat it in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
