Garnish edges with remaining pecan halves.

This pie was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a hit. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is rich and decadent.

This pecan pie was absolutely divine! The cream cheese crust was the perfect complement to the sweet and nutty filling. I will definitely be making this again and again.
