Probably the best pecan pie I have ever had. The directions are not clear however: you should bake the base of the pie, that is, the pie filling, for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. When the base of the pie is "set" then you should pile on the pecan topping that has been keeping warm on the stove top. Then put the whole pie back in the oven and let the topping bubble and cook for another 15 minutes: no testing, just timing. After 15 minutes take the pie out and let it cool completely. This was the best pecan pie recipe I ever had! Highly recommended!

I did not have any success with this pie. The pie did not set in the time specified. I continued to bake at 5 minute increments for well over an hour. The pie is still not set and unfortunately began to burn on top.

Everyone loved the pie. And it tasted great, but was I the only one that had to cook this pie for A LOT longer than the recipe called for? It says "till a knife inserted near the center comes out clean". This took at least another 40 or more minutes than the recipe suggested. I had to cover with aluminum foil, so the pecans wouldn't burn

Super! A very traditional pecan pie. I exchanged 1 tablespoon of butter in the filliing for 1 tablespoon of Tennessee Whiskey. I did the same in the topping, exchange some of the butter for whiskey. Top with fresh whipped cream - ahhhh heaven!!!

I made a wonderful pecan pie recipe for years. Then I made this recipe for pecan pie and it was over the top! It is now my standard pecan pie recipe every year. Totally requested by our guests and family.
