I made the pie crust in the food processer the other day, I will never do it by hand again. I done all the ingredients in there. It was so easy I made enough for thanksgiving (12 double crusts) and froze them. I will be trying this new recipe along with my old one. Thanks!

Pecan is my favorite pie of all time. I only let myself have it around the holidays and I look forward to it every year. I always go the traditional route, but one year, I put a layer of chocolate chips in the bottom of the crust before baking... It was incredible. Thank you for sharing this great recipe!

This is the best and easiest recipe ever! I have been making pecan pie using your recipe for about 5 times and more to comes !!!

This is how I've always made mine, except I use brown sugar and dark Karo Syrup. I guess it's family tradition, can't think of any other reason. I add rum. If I want to have some myself the next day, I have to make two and hide one! We have a huge gathering at Thanksgiving, so there's always apple pie, pumpkin pie and naturally pecan pie. (Not to mention two large, 20+ lb stuffed turkeys, a couple 13 x 9 pans of extra stuffing and about a dozen side dishes...)

Do I have to bake the pie crust before I pour the pecan filling to bake? And if so, for how long and at what temperature do I bake the crust? Thank you.
