pecan pie
Southern holiday pastry
Pecan pie is a sweet American dessert with a filling of pecans in a sugary custard, typically made with corn syrup, eggs, butter, and vanilla, baked in a pie crust.
The filling sets dense and rich, with pecans rising to form a caramelized top layer.
It's a staple of Southern cuisine and Thanksgiving tables: Grandma always made pecan pie for the holidays.
