This was my mother’s very favorite pie. Every year, we’d have pecan pie after pecan pie after pecan pie. We’d eat it not just for dessert, but for BREAKSFAST! Yes, it’s just as delicious at 9 a.m. as it is at 9 p.m. Truth.

Despite my frequent encounters with pecan pie, it wasn’t until last year that I actually made one myself. Let me tell you, there’s something about a homemade pie that just tastes better. You can really Martha Stewart the holidays and make the pie crust yourself with coconut oil, or you can purchase one already made. Either way, I won’t judge.

This holiday classic is always a crowd favorite!

I put in there it serves 10. I use that loosely, because I’m not sure if I’ve ever had 10 people share one pie. Maybe 10 pieces, but not 10 people. Even amateur bakers can get this one accomplished, no sweat!
