SENSATIONAL SOUTHERN PECAN PIE



Sensational Southern Pecan Pie image

The real secret to baking to-die-for pecan pie is using maple syrup and brown sugar. This recipe is simple and fast, and even the novice cook will get raves. By the way, pecan is pronounced "puh-KAAHN," not "PEE-can," which just sounds unappetizing. No matter how you say it, you better bring copies of this recipe on note cards to hand out to friends and family.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup Karo light corn syrup
1 cup pecans (chopped or whole)
1 pie shell (frozen, refrigerated or make your own)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
