Tips:

  • For a richer, more flavorful filling, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • Don't overmix the filling, as this can result in a tough pie.
  • To prevent the pecans from sinking to the bottom of the pie, toss them with a little flour before adding them to the filling.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue topping by placing the pie under the broiler for a few minutes. Just be sure to watch it closely to prevent burning.
  • Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
