Thanksgiving and Christmas are the quintessential classic pie holidays. It's no wonder the rich and buttery Pecan Pie is one of the top five most popular holiday pies. Baking nut pies during the autumn and winter months when the nuts are literally falling from the trees makes perfect sense. Adding a scoop of ice cream to a deliciously warm pecan pie makes it all worthwhile!

How To Make The Best Pecan Pie
- Roasted & Toasted Pecans: For the best flavor, toast the pecans first. Place whole or halved pecans on an ungreased sheet pan and toast in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring a few times until light brown and fragrant. Let cool and set aside.
- Pie Pans: Use a 9" deep dish pie pan, disposable aluminum pie pan, a pretty stoneware pie dish or Grandma's favorite pie tin.
- Pie Crust: Below is a recipe for the Best Ever Pie Crust, or use a favorite pie crust recipe.
- Mixer: A high-speed KitchenAid or Cuisinart mixer is helpful, but pecan pie filling can also be made with a hand-held mixer.
