National Pecan Pie Day

Pecan pie is a dessert pie that is traditionally made with a filling of pecans, eggs, sugar, and corn syrup, all baked in a pastry crust. Pecan pie is a popular dessert in the southern United States, especially during holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. To make pecan pie, the pecan filling is typically mixed together and poured into an unbaked pie crust. The pie is then baked in the oven until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Pecan pie can be served warm or cold, and is often topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Pecan pie has a sweet, nutty flavor and a gooey, caramel-like texture. It is usually made with pecans, but can also be made with other nuts such as walnuts or almonds. There are also many variations of pecan pie that include additional ingredients such as chocolate, bourbon, or pumpkin.
