Thanks for the great recipe. A co-worker and I were talking about how to make a pecan pie without using Karo, and I'm thrilled that this one looks so easy and tasty! Maple syrup! What a great idea! |

Shirl above was looking for a pecan pie that was not gooey in the middle - that may have been a buttermilk pecan pie, which looks more like a egg custard in the middle and not syrupy.
Great forum, by the by.... |

Can honey be substituted for the maple syrup. I have plenty of honey but not much maple syrup. I'd think it should work.

Yummiest pancake you'd have ever eaten. Some creativity with the syrup would make it better. Like adding buttered rum + molasses.. Go figure |

|

I prefer to use a little less syrup [2/3 cup] and a little more sugar [1 cup] and I use dark brown sugar instead of white. I think that makes for a milder pie with an improved texture.
I also throw my pecans into the crust while I pre-bake it, then simply pour the custard into the shell before closing the door and dropping the temp.
Thanks so much for your very informative and easy to comprehend cooking site. |

|
|
This sounds amazing! I plan on trying both this and your chocolate pecan pie tomorrow. Do you have any advice or suggestions for baking mini pies? I bought small (single serving) aluminum pie dishes, but I am worried about possibly burning the crust while the middle doesn't cook at all (I had this problem when trying to make mini brownie bites). Do I need to lower the oven temperature or something? Please help! |

Sounds like a bunch of those dang gummed Yankees have invaded the kitchen... Probably call it "Pee-can Pie," too. |

I have just used this recipe to make 150 mini pecan pies for a wedding. I followed the recipe almost exactly the only change I made was I used brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. These came out fantastic and everyone raved about them. They were delicious and people actually phone throughout the following week to tell me they were the best pecan pies they have ever eaten. Thanks so much for posting this recipe. It is one I will be making over & over. |

I noticed a guest post made mini pecan pies.
I was wondering if the filling was stable enough where you could ship these pies to a friend without getting damage by movement.
Thanks for the information,

Okay, this is an engineering question! How do you cut pecan pie so it doesn't smash?
I used whole/half pecans and I think the chopped ones would be much better. But even so, how do you cut through the pecans without them moving around and looking messy? |

(1) pie must be cooled - even warm the filling will mush
(2) _sharp_ knife
(3) cut at a steep angle - 45' or steeper - trying to cut the entire length of a slice "flat through" will mush all of it
secret trick: toast the pecan halves you intend to 'decorate' the top with before baking - that will make them softer and easier to slice thru. |

Lyle's Golden Syrup makes the best pecan pies, IMO. At worst, you will find it at Whole Foods and Kroger and Meijer both carry it here in the Midwest. |
