I have always been an apple pie baker, as my grandmother taught me young! Since her passing several years ago, I have become the only pie baker in the family, and my sister in law always requests a pecan pie when they come home for Christmas and i always have tried a different recipe every year! I tried so many different pecan pies, and they all called for Karo syrup, and I found them to be so rich, that i felt like my fillings were going to jump out of my teeth as they were always too sweet for me! The first thing I noticed in this recipe was no Karo syrup was used!! I decided that I would try to make it this year for Christmas! What a great pie, and I should add that for the filling I called an audible and substituted bourbon infused cherries as that was all I could get locally the week before Christmas! What a great decision!!! It went together easily and baked to perfection!! The family gave rave reviews of it and it had great flavor! This will be my new favorite recipe as i feel that it was the best pie I have ever made!!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with the world!!!<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-11-06","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GoldLobster"},"reviewBody":"Haven't tried, but photo shows double crust and recipe does not, I would not use a double crust, please correct or verify. thanks.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2016-10-23","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"PurpleApple"},"reviewBody":"I was VERY skeptical when a customer asked me to bake this for a birthday party, but it turned out wonderfully.@viennarose7, the photo does not show a double crust, the top of the pie just browns and crusts over to look like one.
