"Decorate the top of your pie with pecan halves, and it'll look amazing!" says Trisha Yearwood. You don't have to be a master to make your pecan pie look truly attractive and festive: simply arrange the pecan halves in concentric circles and see the results!



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

  • 1 sheet chilled pie dough
  • 1 tbsp. premium flour + extra for dusting
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 160°C. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 30cm circle. Place the dough in a 23cm pie pan; turn the overhanging edges in and crimp them.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs until creamy. Add the chopped nuts, melted butter, milk, flour, and vanilla extract and mix well. Pour the filling into the pie crust. Arrange the nut halves in a circle around the top of the pie.

  3. Bake the pie for approximately 55 minutes. Check for doneness by gently shaking the pan: the pie should be firm and have a slight jiggle in the center. Cool on a wire rack for approximately 2 hours. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
