Honey Pecan Pie - Perfect for Thanksgiving

This honey pecan pie is my new go-to pecan pie recipe, flavored with honey and filled with toasted pecans.

Hi everyone! Can you believe there's only 16 days left until Thanksgiving? This month has really gotten away from me. I have my Thanksgiving menu all planned out and I've also done some of the grocery shopping. Every year on Thanksgiving I always serve Pumpkin, Apple and Pecan Pie for dessert. 

I try and make a variety of pies in the hopes to please everyone. Every year I make the same apple and pecan pie recipe, because they're always a huge hit. A couple weeks back Walmart asked me to share a recipe that would be perfect to serve for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.

This was the perfect opportunity to try out a pie recipe that I've been dying to make. The particular pie I'm talking is Miss Kay's Honey Pecan Pie. My family are huge fans of Duck Dynasty, and ever since I heard Phil talk about Miss Kay's Honey Pecan Pie, I have been obsessed in finding the recipe.  

Recently Miss Kay's Duck Commander Cookbook was released and I was hoping the recipe was included and it was! Since I was at Walmart I picked up all the ingredients I needed to make a practice pie. I told myself if the recipe turns out then I would be serving this pecan pie for Thanksgiving.

I have made the same Pecan Pie recipe for years, but I have to admit........ this Honey Pecan Pie blows mine right out of the water. I'm thinking it's the addition of the honey in her pie. This recipe is really simple to make, so don't be intimidated. If you don't have time to bake a pie for the holidays Walmart has a great selection of bakery pies. I promise I wont tell.   

These are the ingredients you will need: 1 - 9 in deep dish store bought pie crust, chopped pecans or pecan halves, sugar, salt, butter, corn syrup, honey, eggs and vanilla extract. 

I hope you give this recipe a try, because once you taste it you'll be Happy, Happy, Happy!

Honey Pecan Pie

This honey pecan pie is my new go-to pecan pie recipe, flavored with honey and filled with toasted pecans.

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 55 MinTotal time: 1 H & 10 M

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup or moonshine syrup
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
• 1 (9 inch) store bought deep dish pie crust, unbaked or homemade

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Add the eggs to a large bowl and and beat until fluffy using an electric mixer (about 5-7 minutes).
3. In a separate large mixing bowl or kitchen aid mixer, add the sugar, salt, softened butter, vanilla, corn syrup or moonshine syrup and honey.
4. Gently fold in the beaten eggs and the pecans. Pour filling into a 9 inch pie crust and place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
5. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the filling is almost set (You still want the filling to jiggle just a bit in the center) because the pie will continue to set up as it cools.
6. If the edges brown too quickly place a pie guard over the crust edge.
7. Remove the pie from the oven and cool completely before slicing.

Notes

I use moonshine syrup which is a mixture of corn syrup and cane sugar, but the pie is equally delicious using corn syrup.

Pecan Pies are best made the morning of or a day before you want to serve them (to give them time to set up completely).
