  • Toast the pecans before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use a combination of light and dark brown sugar. This will give the pie a more complex flavor.

  • Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. This will usually take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
