Why We Love This Recipe

• Rich and gooey filling – The slow cooking process allows the buttery, sweet filling to set perfectly while staying moist.
• Crunchy pecans – Toasted pecans on top provide a satisfying texture contrast to the smooth filling.
• Simple preparation – Made in the crock pot, this recipe requires minimal hands-on time and avoids the oven.
• Holiday-friendly – A classic dessert that’s ideal for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or family gatherings.
• Consistent results – The slow, even cooking ensures the pie bakes evenly every time, preventing overcooked edges or undercooked centers.

Ingredients

• Refrigerated Pie Crust – Store-bought pie crust works well for convenience, but you can also make a simple 3 Ingredient Pie Crust Recipe if you prefer.
• Eggs – Lightly beaten eggs help bind the filling and create a smooth, custard-like texture.
• Light or Dark Corn Syrup – Both work; light gives a classic sweet flavor, while dark adds a richer, deeper taste.
• Packed Light Brown Sugar – Adds sweetness and caramel notes to the filling. Homemade brown sugar can be used if desired.
• Butter – Melted butter enriches the filling and enhances its gooey texture.
• Vanilla Extract – Pure vanilla extract gives depth and warmth to the filling.
• Pecan Halves – Using pecan halves provides a visually appealing topping and a satisfying crunch. Crushed pecans can be used if preferred, but halves are recommended for presentation.

Variations

• Mini Pies – Make individual pies using a muffin tin or small ramekins for single servings.
• Gluten-Free Crust – Use a gluten-free pie crust or almond flour crust for a gluten-free version.
• Honey Pecan Pie – Replace corn syrup with honey for a slightly floral, natural sweetness.
• Spiced Pecan Pie – Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice to the filling for a warm, spiced flavor.

Pro Tips

• Allow the pie to set – Let the pie rest for at least 1 hour after cooking. This ensures the filling firms up and prevents it from falling apart when removing from the crock pot.
• Use crock pot liners – Liners make cleanup much easier and allow you to lift the pie out of the crock pot without sticking or breaking.
• Avoid overfilling the crust – Keep the filling below the top edge of the pie crust to prevent spills and ensure even cooking.
• Check for even cooking – Make sure the crock pot heats evenly; some models may cook faster on one side, so rotate if necessary.
• Use room temperature ingredients – Eggs and butter should be at room temperature to help the filling mix smoothly.
• Optional garnish – Toasted pecans on top after baking add extra crunch and visual appeal.
• Serve warm – For the best texture and flavor, serve the pie slightly warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
