Notes
Nutrition information is provided as an estimate only and may vary based on exact ingredients used and serving size. This recipe is measured to perfectly fill one deep dish pie shell. You can use a regular sized pie shell, but there will be a little bit of filling leftover. Cooking time is also slightly different for a shallower pie shell. I like to top the pie with pecan halves (as opposed to chopped pecans) because it looks pretty. You can use whichever you have on hand or prefer. Cover leftovers with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and keep refrigerated for 3-5 days.
