Pro Tips
Pie can be made with any standard baked 9-inch pie crust.
When is it done? Like custard pies, pecan pie should be removed from the oven before the center is completely set. The center will jiggle slightly when dish is gently shaken. Filling will continue to “cook” after it’s removed and center will firm up quickly. The knife test: Test for doneness with a thin-bladed knife. If knife is clean when pulled out, the custard is done. If any filling clings to the blade, bake a few minutes longer and test again.
Refrigerate any leftover pie promptly.
This recipe is an excellent source of choline, and a good source of protein, vitamin A and folate.
