Ingredients
  

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a deep-dish pie pan.

  3. Stir in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust.

  6. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, toast the pecans before baking. Let the pie cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. Variations include adding chocolate chips, swapping sugar with maple syrup, or using gluten-free crusts. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerated for 5 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
