Pecan pie is a Christmas and Thanksgiving dessert favorite. Instead of buying your pie from a bakery or grocery store, making pecan pie at home is fairly quick and easy. Additionally, creating pecan pie at home allows you to vary the recipe to include a variety of secondary flavorings. This guide provides information about and links to numerous pecan pie recipes, allowing you to choose one you and your family like best.
Pecan pie of course contains pecans, which are mixed with eggs, butter, vanilla and a variety of sugars, most commonly corn syrup, molasses and plain white sugar. The filling is poured into a standard pastry crust and baked, creating the trademark chewy, sweet and crunchy completed pie.
Pecan Pie Variations
Pecan pie comes in a number of variations that will fit perfectly into your holiday dessert display. Just a few of the different types are chocolate, pumpkin, caramel, honey, strawberry, maple, ambrosia, cranberry and sweet potato.
Caramel Pecan Pie
Dave demonstrates how to make caramel pecan pie in this informative video. He starts with sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla and salt, mixing all the ingredients in a large bowl. For the caramel flavoring, Dave melts butter in a saucepan then adds in milk and candy caramel pieces.
