Mrs. Stewart's Pecan Pie W/ Meringue image

This recipe was printed in the Fall 2007 Taste of the South Magazine. It was once a secret family recipe belonging to a Southern lady from Mississippi. This pie is special in that it has a creamy custard pecan filling and it's topped with meringue.

The pie was delicious, but it was a lot of work to make. I'm not sure if I would make it again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crust was too hard and the filling was too runny.

This is the best pecan pie recipe I've ever tried! The crust is flaky and buttery, the filling is rich and flavorful, and the meringue is perfectly toasted. I will definitely be making this again and again.
