Easy Classic Pecan Pie

I think whoever coined the phrase “easy as pie” was talking about Pecan Pie. It’s one of the easiest recipes around and now? It’s one of my favorites.

I’ve talked before about how pecan pie was not one of my favorites. I’ve talked about how my mom is famous in our family for this pie…but I never wanted to eat it.

Now? Now I want to eat it all. The. Time.

How did I not realize how good pecan pie was when I was growing up? I feel like I wasted years. YEARS of my life…not eating this easy and classic pie recipe.

It’s kind of depressing in a #firstworldproblem way, dontcha think? Oh, well. I’ll make up for it this year, I’m sure.

I declare 2014 the year of the pecan pie.

I know, it’s such a simple recipe to have on this site. This site where I make things like this and this and then I do this, Classic Pecan Pie is kind of…easy. Uneventful.

But you know what? Boring is good. I’m a pretty boring person if you know me in person (eat, work, work out, read, eat, sleep, repeat) and I think I’m pretty cool.

So is this pie.

This recipe is my mom’s famous recipe. My mom is pretty famous on this blog, don’t you know? She’s the one who introduced me to the best banana bread in the world, russian teacakes that I ended up stuffing with Reese’s, and she makes a mean pumpkin pie.

Now I’m giving you her secret recipe for pecan pie. !!!

{Hmmm…possibly should have asked first. Oh well, better to ask forgiveness…}

The reason I never liked pecan pie as a kid was because of the texture of the filling. I made one teeny edit to her recipe and I solved that problem. #yayme
