Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. Prepare the crock pot. Line a 6 quart slow cooker with a crockpot liner. If you don’t have one, you can also spray the liner with cooking spray.
Step 2. Put the pie crust in the bottom. Press down on the bottom of the crock pot and around the sides so that it fits the bottom of your crock pot.
Step 3. Get out a large mixing bowl. Combine eggs, corn syrup, sugar, butter and vanilla until well blended. Then stir in the pecans.
Step 4. Pour the pecan pie filling into the crust. Don’t go over the crust.
Step 5. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours. Then turn the crock pot off and take the lid off. Let it sit for at least 1 hour to set.
Step 6. Finally, remove the pie by lifting the crock pot liner out of the crock pot. Slice and enjoy.

Pro Tips
- Allow to set. You have to let the pie sit for at least 1 hour or it will fall apart when removing it from the crock pot. This is very important so make sure to not skip this step!
- Use Crock Pot liners. This pie is very sticky and messy. You need to use liners and cleanup will be a breeze. It also makes it easy to life out to cut.
- Don’t overfill the pie crust. Do not let the pie filling go above the pie shell in the crock pot.
