Pecan pie, the simple, plain-looking pantry dessert made of pecans, butter, eggs, sugar, and corn syrup, doesn’t quite have the same allure as a sparkling apple pie or a towering lemon meringue. Even Ree Drummond (aka the Pioneer Woman) confessed she, too, was skeptical of pecan pie as a child. But when she finally came around to it, she published her own recipe for it, and it has grown to become one of the most popular pecan pies on the internet.

The Pioneer Woman’s pie calls for a homemade all-shortening crust, which is filled with a classic combination of butter, sugar, and eggs, as well as brown sugar and vanilla to give it extra caramel-y flavor. The pie’s namesake nuts are chopped, a departure from many recipes where the pecan halves are left whole. Here’s what I thought about the pie when I put all the pieces together.
