Notes

Nutrition information is provided as an estimate only and may vary based on exact ingredients used and serving size.
Pie Crust - This recipe is measured to perfectly fill one deep dish pie shell. You can use a regular sized pie shell, but there will be a little bit of filling leftover. Cooking time is also slightly different for a shallower pie shell.
Pecans - I like to top the pie with pecan halves (as opposed to chopped pecans) because it looks pretty. You can use whichever you have on hand or prefer.
Storage - Cover leftovers with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and keep refrigerated for 3-5 days.
