Pecan Pie ~ Foamheart

[tx smoker]

Just mixed this up and into the oven . I used walnuts because they were on sale , and store bought crust . Everything else is the same .

Please keep us posted. I'm most curious about the store bought pie crust. We have several pounds of those world famous Texas pecans in the pantry and I'm dying to put this together. We live in the heart of pecans and Frederisckburg peaches (noted to be some of the best in the world) so it's a shame for me not to be doing more desserts.

Waiting....waiting...

For years and years I used Pillsbury pie crusts. 2 reasons One they are not bad, not outstanding but edible. Second I didn't have the time or inclination to make my own. They are easy now, but they didn't start that way. I showed Mom the Pillsbury crusts and screwed up. Thats all she used after that.

Getting close to the holidays again so always good to build up some extra brownie points.

What makes this recipe, Gotta Try! I enjoy the Sweet Custard Like filling better than the nuts. This has LOTS of filling!...JJ

Easy explanation, I like the custard too but also when I got my 9" deep dish pyrex pie pans my pies were really wimpy down in there. When you talked by the pie there was an echo from the void. Soooo..... I increased all my recipes by an additional 50%. Its not too much, looks right, and heck lets face it, who's gonna complain about more? LOL

I used a Pillsbury crust . Seemed fine to me , certainly not as good as homemade , but makes this even easier .

I hope you like it.

It's great . Not sure it's right ,,, but sure taste good . The one time I had Pecan pie , it was way to sweet . This is just right . The toasted nut taste is fantastic .
Thanks alot for posting .

To make the sweeter version, change the brown sugar to refined white cane sugar and the lighter karo works well with it.

Dark Karo has molasses taste
Light Karo has vanilla Taste

You can actually skip the vanilla if you use the light Karo.

I like it as is . Ready to make another. This one didn't last long . I didn't care for the sweetness of the only time I had it .

Just telling you all of your options, well some of them anyway.

Don't make too many, ya know halloween, thanksgiving & Christmas are just around the corner. Shame to burnout on them before the holidays. <Big Grin>

Ya know if you do walnuts and use maple extract it is pretty good too!
