When it comes to classic desserts that never go out of style, pecan pies stand out. This version, sweetened with natural honey instead of the usual corn syrup, will be your new favorite. Not only does it deliver that gooey texture and nutty goodness, but it also brings a unique sweetness that only honey can offer.
Roll out the pie dough and transfer crust to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press gently into the dish, trimming any excess dough. Crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
