A classic pecan pie is deceptively easy to make. All you need is a simple pie shell, a whisk-together filling, and some pecans—that’s it. This recipe offers the ideal ratio of sweet buttery custard to crunchy, toasted pecans, with just the right balance of eggs, butter, sugar, corn syrup, and honey to produce a well-set pie that slices cleanly. A foil shield prevents the nuts from scorching before the filling is done baking.
