Brown Sugar Pecan Pie

I don’t share a whole lot of pie recipes on my site because, well, I don’t really like pies all that much. For me to eat a slice of pie, it has to be really, REALLY good. That being said, you can go forth with high expectations of any pie recipe I share here at Mom On Timeout because I am so gosh darn picky 🙂

Today I’m sharing a brown sugar pecan pie with you. One of the VERY easiest pie recipes you’ll ever make – promise. I started with my favorite pecan pie recipe, then decided to brown the butter for a richer, nuttier flavor, and I didn’t stop there.

I toasted up some pecans (toasting optional) and threw them in the bowl for good measure. Why? Because the rest of the recipe only took about four minutes.

What Makes This Pecan Pie Special?

If you haven’t had a brown sugar pie before you’re in for a treat. It’s called a brown sugar pie because that’s the only sugar that is used.

Brown sugar and eggs are what the filling is mainly comprised of and it all comes together in a bowl lickety-split – perfect for the holiday rush.
