Mix and toss ingredients together with a fork until dough ball forms. Place in plastic wrap or Ziploc baggie and put into the refrigerator while you make the filling.

    • Once filling is prepared, take the dough ball from the fridge and place on lightly floured surface. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the crust dough into a circle at least 12 inches in diameter and gently fold pie crust into quarters. Move the folded pie crust from the counter to the pie plate. Unfold in the pie plate. Pour filling into pie shell. Flute edges in your favorite design.

    pie-shield

    • Place pie crust shield over the top or use foil to make a shield to keep the crust edges from burning or turning dark brown while baking.
    • Bake at 375 for 40-50 minutes, or until filling has set.

      My husband absolutely loves pecan pie! I found a recipe that was long and complicated, but since I love my husband I thought I would put in the effort.

      Um, your recipe is short, sweet and looks delicious – stealing it!

      First of all, CONGRATS on a beautiful baby!!!!! He is very precious. Heal well and enjoy your time with him while he’s still snuggly. I was wondering if you can substitute Molasses for the Maple Syrup? It’s pretty hard to get good maple syrup and what I can get is VERY expensive in little jars for about $7.00. Would Molasses work? I’ve heard of using Corn syrup too. I will be trying this out! Thanks

      I love the fact that this recipe doesn’t use corn syrup! Corn syrup is one reason I’ve never made pecan pie. Now you are causing me to reconsider…. =)
