About Pecan Pie

Pecan Pie is a classic American dessert from the South, made with a rich, sweet filling of eggs, sugar, butter and syrup, topped with pecan nuts and baked in a pie crust.

The filling sets into a gooey, caramel-like custard, while the pecans on top become toasted and crunchy. Corn syrup is commonly used, and some recipes add bourbon or chocolate.

Pecans are native to the southern United States. Pecan pie is a traditional dessert for Thanksgiving and Christmas and is often served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
