Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I’m going to ask my girlfriend to make this since pecan pie is my fave!!
There were no instructions for the whole pecans. Is there a way to see others’ comments. They are often helpful for reviews and alternate ideas,
We have updated it! The whole pecans are for decorating the top after pouring in the batter and before placing in the oven.
Love how this pie is moist and savory but still crunchy and delicious
