With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, you can create a delicious pie that will impress your family and friends, adding a touch of warmth and comfort to your table.

The recipe starts with a pre-made pie crust, saving you the time and effort of making one from scratch.

Pour the filling into the crust, arrange some whole pecans on top for a decorative touch, and bake until the pie is set and golden brown.

Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent experience.
