1/3 c butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c chopped pecans

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. This means using fresh pecans, real butter, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Make sure your oven is preheated before baking the pie. This will help to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing will make the filling tough.
  • Bake the pie until the center is set. The pie is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
