How Do You Make A Pecan Pie?
Many families include pecan pie as one of the traditional desserts they serve for Thanksgiving and Christmas. With this easy recipe your family can enjoy a pecan pie any time of the year. It’s great topped with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Step 1 Place the pie crust into a pie pan and pull the edge of the crust up and over the outer rim of the pie pan.

Step 2 Position the pecan halves in a spiral starting in the center of the pie crust and moving out until the entire crust is covered with pecans. While the pecan pie is baking, the pecan halves will float up to the top of the filling so the spiral of nuts will be on the very top of the pie. Step 3 Beat four eggs together in a bowl until the eggs turn a lemon yellow color. Beat in one cup of brown sugar a little at a time. Then add 2 cups of heavy cream. Continue mixing until the cream combines with the eggs. Stir in one teaspoon of vanilla
