Goo Free Pecan Pie is a twist on the Southern classic with less goo and extra pecans. If the pecans are what you like about a pecan pie, my version will become your favorite!
Just when you thought pecan pie couldn’t get any better!
I love everything about pecan pie. I like the crust and the goo and the pecans. (If you prefer a classic Pecan Pie, try this recipe.) However, the dessert lover and baker in me wanted to try it with more pecans and less goo. I also want to try it with more goo and less, or no, pecans. (Stay tuned for that recipe coming later.)
This is good, y’all! Real good! I ate two slices immediately after photographing so I should know!
Goo Free Pecan Pie
- My version is sweetened with honey but you can use brown sugar or Karo syrup. I prefer light corn syrup if using Karo.
- First of all, you may choose to make a homemade pie crust like my Never-fail Pie Crust or use a store-bought one. Either way, the pie will be delish! It does need to be a deep-dish pie crust.
- As well, I usually purchase pecans that are on sale whether they’re chopped or halved. Therefore, use what you have on hand or what’s on sale when choosing pecans.
- Finally, you can add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the pie if you wish.
