Notes

Make clean up easy: Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray before placing the dough in it. If you are using a frozen crust already in a pan, you can skip this!

Baking Tip: If the crust’s edges are browning too fast while baking, cover them with foil.

If you use a frozen crust: If you opt for a frozen crust, preheat the oven as directed, and place a cookie sheet in the oven. Bake the pie on the hot cookie sheet, and this will ensure your frozen crust bakes properly.

How to know when it’s done: When the internal temperature is 200°F, it’s ready – you can check it with a thermometer. Or, if you don’t have one, you can check for doneness by lightly tapping the surface. It should spring back when it’s baked through.

Want more chocolate? Melt some additional chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzle it over the top for an extra chocolate treat.

Make-Ahead Tips and Storage: You can make and bake it up to a day in advance. Once it’s fully cooled, cover it and keep it at room temperature until you’re ready to serve it. Leftover pecan pie will keep up to four days in the refrigerator.
