Ingredients
Instructions

- Stir in vanilla and chopped pecans.

- Bake at 400°F for approximately 10 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you're out of pecans, walnuts can be a great substitute. Make sure to beat the eggs well for a fluffy texture. If your pie crust is frozen, allow it to thaw completely before filling to prevent sogginess. For a twist, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pie warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Aunt Ruth'S Pinwheel Cookies for a sweet dessert platter. For a complete meal, consider serving with a light salad or a fruit compote to balance the richness of the pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid using a microwave, as it can make the crust soggy. This pie is best enjoyed fresh, but can still be delicious when reheated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pie a day in advance. Bake it completely, then cool it and refrigerate. Just reheat before serving for best results. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making it a great option for gatherings or special occasions.
What can I use instead of eggs?
If you need an egg substitute, consider using flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water, or a commercial egg replacer. For this recipe, use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce per egg. This will alter the texture slightly, but still yield a delicious pie.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. You can also insert a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the pie is ready. Keep an eye on the crust to avoid over-browning, covering edges with foil if necessary.
