With Thanksgiving right around the corner I’m sure you are planning your meal.   Besides the turkey I also think that dessert is the most important thing to plan.  Every year we enjoy pumpkin pie and a few other treats.  I know many of my friends have pecan pie for Thanksgiving dessert but we never have.   This year I decided to change all that.

A gorgeous Pecan Pie perfect for Thanksgiving dinner

I’ve never actually made a pecan pie before so I wanted to do a trial run before the big day.  I searched high and low for a recipe that looked easy but totally delicious.  I found a recipe with less then 10 ingredients that was totally gorgeous.   I followed the recipe carefully, making only a few changes, put it in the oven, and crossed my fingers.

The pie that came out of the oven looked perfect.   The pecans were golden brown and the filling was lightly bubbling.  I set it on the cooling rack and waited to be able to cut it.   Once it was cool my husband and I split a piece.  It was absolutely delicious.  The filling was sweet and tasted like caramel while the pecans on top were toasted and crunchy.

Easy and delicious Pecan Pie

I took the pie to work the next day and people raved about it.  In fact, I had a few requests to make them for their Thanksgiving dinner!   This pie is a definite winner in my book.
