The perfect dessert for holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas, or anytime you’re craving some pie! Alright, so the million dollar Thanksgiving question — which pie do you choose? I’m a lifetime member of Team Pumpkin myself, and have already been counting down the days until I get to make this naturally-sweetened pumpkin pie recipe again for our big Thanksgiving fiesta here next week. But my husband is one thousand percent on Team Pecan, and as such, he has already made sure that our pantry is well stocked for at least a few homemade pecan pies this holiday season. The thing is that neither of us really want to be cooking with corn syrup nowadays, which has always traditionally been used to sweeten pecan pies. So for the past few years, we have been trying out some of the internet’s most popular naturally-sweetened pecan pie recipes. I think that we have finally landed on our new family favorite pecan pie recipe.
It’s also delightfully full of pecans, since we prefer a dense nutty filling, versus just a thin layer of nuts floating on top. I also used my favorite homemade pie crust in this recipe, but you’re welcome to sub in a gluten-free pie crust if you would like this pie to be completely gluten-free. And if you’re interested in more of a chocolate pecan pie, I’ve included an option below for how to also add in some chocolate chips too. Basically, this pecan pie recipe is everything we love about the classic — just modernized with some more natural ingredients, with all of those good flavors amped up a bit. The result is a total winner. And if you or your loved ones are on Team Pecan, you should totally give it a try. Pie crust: I used my favorite homemade pie crust recipe, which you are welcome to make with coconut sugar as a natural sweetener if you’d like, instead of granulated sugar.
