The Best Pecan Pie Recipes
We have made and tried a LOT of pecan pie recipes and as far as classic pecan pies go, this one is the best. By far. The filling is perfectly sweet and gooey, filled with pecan halves and a warm molasse-y flavor. I added in a bit of orange zest, which may seem a bit strange but man, it really makes this pie extra special and sets it apart from the others.

For the crust, I used a refrigerated pie crust to keep things extra easy but feel free to use your favorite homemade crust instead.

While the crust does need to chill for 30 minutes and the bake time is about an hour, the actual hands-on prep time for this pie is just 10 minutes! And it can easily be made in advance, making it perfect for the busy holiday season!
