Why this will be your FAVORITE Pecan Pie Recipe

Elmer's wife is one of my best friends. At Thanksgiving, Elmer makes pies. Last year, they delivered a full pecan pie to my doorstep. It was my first ever Elmer Pie Delivery Day because they'd always been afraid to give me baked goods. I assured them, baked goods I don't bake taste better than my stuff. I figured a pecan pie is a pecan pie is a pecan pie, right? WRONG.

You'll love this pie because it's so good we ate it with forks straight from the pan.

• It's easy to make because it start with melted butter
• The pecan pie filling has no corn syrup – just tons of brown and white sugar
• The buttery crust and the sweet filling complement each other perfectly!

Jordan would not shut up about how good that pie was. In fact, shortly after our pie eating extravaganza, she told Elmer that she wanted one of his pies for her birthday cake. She then told any member of their family she saw that same thing for three months until her birthday actually came the following February. Elmer delivered; we sang to Jordan over pecan pie instead of mint cake for the first time in years.

That's how good this pie is!

Brown Sugar Pecan Pie is a heavenly sweet pie recipe that is perfect for your holiday table!

Ingredients in Pecan Pie with brown sugar

Butter: Like all good pecan pie recipes, this one starts with melted butter. Since butter is one of the key ingredients in a pecan pie, you want to be sure to use the best kind of butter you can, so I use Challenge Butter. It's the butter I grew up on and the one I still use today. And, it recently became available nationally! You can find a store near you here. Look for the package with the elk on it!

Sugar: There is mostly brown sugar, but you'll also need 1/4 cup of white sugar.

Eggs: These are needed for the structure of the pie.

Flour: Helps the pie firm up in the center.

Milk: This is the secret ingredient that allows you to make the pie without corn syrup!

Salt and Vanilla: For flavor

Pecan Halves: You can chop the pecans or leave them in halves. Elmer chops them, so that's what I did here.

Tips for Pecan Pie Filling

• If you haven't done it, I urge you try try a pecan pie recipe without corn syrup. Use this one, you won't be sorry.
• Don't forget to pack your brown sugar!
• I use unsalted butter. If you don't have that you can use salted Challenge Butter, but omit the salt.
• I like chopping my pecans into coarse pieces. It makes more of a seal over the top and is easier to eat.
• Cover the edges of the crust with a piece of aluminum foil or use a pie crust shield to prevent over browning.
• I always use premade crusts because I'm lazy, but my all butter pie crust works too!
