Easy Pecan Pie Recipe -How to make southern pecan pie

Pecan pie is such a simple pie to make yet so many people seem to struggle with getting the right balance of sweetness, that perfect firm, yet soft texture and the right nut-to-filling ratio. Yep, sometimes the easiest recipes can be a pain in the ass!

This homemade pecan pie recipe (with a few personal alterations) has been in our family for as long as I can remember. It's a trusty old standby that hasn't let me down yet. When newbies to the family taste it for the first time it gets a lot of "now that's a pecan pie!" remarks. This recipe gets passed around a lot during the holidays and somewhere got the name "Ova Yonda Pecan Pie".

I've tried other pecan pies and this one continues to be my favorite. Easy, pure comfort.

What I love about this pecan pie recipe is that it starts with a flavorful, homemade crust that goes so well with pecan pies. The filling sets to perfection with a sweetly balanced caramel vanilla flavor. The toasted pecans are crunchy (none of those chewy pecans here!) It's just a simple, well-balanced pecan pie.

LOOkssssssssssss delish. Monique what do you think would happen if I put some of the pecans in the mixture? I might try it and be the guninea pig.

@ItsMeFawn I see a lot of pecans pies where the pecans are added right in the batter. I've never done it that way, but I hear they will rise to the top. Let me know how it turns out if you try it.
