I'm a dessert girl. My Pinterest boards all have around the same amount of pins and then there's my dessert board. At least 4 times the pins of my other boards. What can I say, I have a sweet tooth! So when it comes to Thanksgiving, I'm all over dessert. Truthfully, I always have room for dessert or I at least save room for it. But with Thanksgiving, room or not, I'm going for the pie! Our family always has pumpkin pie and pecan pie. I've always been team pumpkin. But after marrying Steven, I've had to master pecan pies, too.
I always thought pecan pie would be really hard to make. I mean, you can get too much easier than pumpkin pie, so naturally pecan pie had to be a difficult one to manage. However, I was seriously wrong about that! It's so easy and Steven (who is the official taste tester for this blog, in case you didn't know!) said I shouldn't change a thing about Grandma's recipe.
The funny part about this being my Grandma's recipe is that she isn't southern. Maybe that's just me, but pecan pie to me screams the south so I feel like her recipe should have been concocted in a southern state. However, it was not but it is still southern taste bud approved.

Shell Peterson says
The first time I made Pecan Pie, it was a mess!!! I had syrup all over the walls, all over the dogs, and all in my hair! Even though the pie turned out to be very tasty, I promised myself I would never make pecan pie ever again because the recipe I had was so difficult! This recipe looks 100 times easier than my mom's.....don't tell her I said that!
Madison says
Hahaha! I won't tell her 😉 I can't wait for you to try it this week!! EEK!

Becca says
OOOH! Thanks for posting this. My husband loves pecan pie, and I've never made it for him (after 6 years of marriage, I think it's time). I don't have a go to recipe so maybe this will get me to actually make one this year!
Madison says
Oh he'll love it! My husband couldn't stop talking about it, which was a good sign! 🙂
Erin says
What a gorgeous pie! Love this, Madison! Like your husband, I've always fallen on side Pecan Pie of the pecan vs. pumpkin argument, and this sounds delicious. Kudos to your grandma, and keep up the wonderful baked goods!
Madison says
Thank you!! I wish I had a better crust, but oh well! I'll take your word on the pecan 😉

I smiled when I saw this post because I have a post scheduled with the EXACT same title next week haha. Maybe I'll change mine and do a sweet potato recipe! 😉 Pecan Pie is my favorite part of Thanksgiving!
Madison says
That's awesome 🙂 Great minds think alike!
Jenna Owens (@aSavoryFeast) says
This sounds so good! My aunt makes a pie she calls "Run for the Roses" that is similar, but it has a chocolate layer, too. I love how pretty and Fall-ish pecan pies are. They are the perfect Thanksgiving dessert!
Madison says
Woah! Adding chocolate sounds amazing 🙂
Lauren Flowers says
This is so perfect! We are actually having a pie day at work and I chose pecan. I cant wait to try this recipe! 🙂
Madison says
Pie day?! Can I come work with you!?
