Pecan pie is a traditional southern staple around the holidays and any time. When you see this pecan pie recipe, you’ll realize just how easy it is to make!
And while pie crust and sugar and Karo syrup might not be healthy choices, pecans absolutely are! So as pies go, this is a pretty good one, I think! 😄
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has acknowledged and approved the following qualified health claim: “Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as pecans, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.”

Notes
Nutrition
If you’re going to bake this pecan pie in a glass dish like me, set the oven to 375º and just keep an eye on it until the pie is solid. If you’re baking it in a metal pan, bake it at 350º.

I use the same one for chopping collards, fruit for jam, all kinds of things.
