Hello Reader,

The Holiday season wouldn’t be complete without a slice of rich, gooey pecan pie. This recipe brings out the best of a classic Southern favorite: crunchy pecans nestled in a perfectly sweet and buttery filling, all on a flaky homemade crust. It’s that nostalgic dessert we can’t resist, and trust me, this one will have everyone asking for seconds!

Here’s why you’ll love it:

• Pure Maple Syrup: Unlike the usual corn syrup, I use maple syrup for a deeper, richer sweetness that complements the pecans beautifully.
• Perfect Texture: The gooey filling contrasts beautifully with the crunchy pecan topping.
• Make-Ahead Friendly: You can prep this pie the night before and have it ready for holiday dinners or cozy nights in.

Tip: Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for that extra touch of indulgence. It’s also a great recipe to double if you’re feeding a crowd!

You can check out the full recipe at my website and get baking! Let me know how it turns out—I’d love to hear what you think.

This recipe also has a new video. I go on a little bit about pie crust, but the video has time stamps if you need to skip around.

Before I sign off, I want to say a big thank you to everyone who sent me messages wishing me a Happy Birthday last week. I read each one and appreciate every thoughtful note. Your kind words truly made my day special. Thanks again for being such a wonderful part of this journey with me!

Happy Baking,

Tanya
