I lost my mind for a moment (OK, a moment that has lasted 54 years), and
told my family I would bake a pecan pie from scratch for Thanksgiving (the
only other thing I'm cooking is my beloved Cajun cornbread stuffing - my
daughter will be cooking everything else, thankfully).

So now I need a really good, but really *easy* recipe for pecan pie (pie
crust too).

Hugs,

Enjoy here is a pie recipe with and without a from scratch pie crust

Pecan Pie

1 prepared -inch pie shell, uncooked
1 3/4 cups pecan pieces
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup Steen's 100 percent Pure Cane Syrup
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/2 stick butter, softened
1 tablespoon flour

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Spread the pecans evenly on the bottom of the pie shell.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, brown sugar, cane syrup, vanilla,
salt, butter, and flour, together.
Mix well.
Pour the mixture over the pecans.
Bake for about 1 hour, or until the filling sets.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before
slicing.

Pecan Pie Crust
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup ground pecans
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold butter
8 to 9 tablespoons ice water

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, pecans, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the water and let sit for 1 minute.
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured
surface.
Roll the dough out on the floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in
diameter and 1/8-inch thick.
Gently fold the circle of dough in half and then in half again so that you
can lift it without tearing it, and unfold into a 9 by 2-inch deep-dish pie

Pecan Pie is the easiest thing on earth to make.  Go to the store and buy a
pie crust from the refrigerated section.  Then check out the Karo Cane
Syrup.  Either the light or the dark one will have a recipe on the back.
Make sure you have all the rest of the stuff it calls for.

Put the crust is a pie plate, arrange the pecan halves over the bottom.
(They will float to the top when you all the filling.)

Then put the rest of the stuff in a blender and pulse till its all mixed.
Pour it carefully over the pecans.  Put the pie on a cookie sheet and put it
in the oven.

Sorry, can't help with the filling, but I haven't made
piecrust "from scratch" since the frozen ones came on the
market.  (Most of them bake up nice and flaky - just like my
grandma used to make - and are far less trouble.)

I dunno how your family feels about molasses flavored
filling, but the best pecan pie I EVER had was sold by a
Woolworth's lunch counter (back in the days such existed).
It was made with molasses instead of corn syrup, and was
simply WONDERFUL!
