Old Fashioned Pecan Pie

Are you more of a pumpkin pie or pecan pie fan? I would most often say pumpkin for myself, but guess what! I think this Old Fashioned Pecan Pie just changed my mind! Like no joke, I went back for way more pecan pie than pumpkin this time around.  

This pecan pie is SO delicious. It has the perfect balance of sweet to nutty, and don't forget that glorious crunchy crust that I could eat all day. 

I told my mom I was going to do a Top 5 Pies for Thanksgiving blog post and she cringed when she heard that I had to make pecan pie (like come on it's a thanksgiving tradition)! She told me she has always hated those gummy pecan pies. But after I made this, I'm pretty sure she ate more of this pie than everyone else (well besides me). It really is SO good (and not gummy hah)! I promise it won't disappoint!
