Recipe FAQs

Do I need to use a slow cooker liner?

I highly recommend using a slow cooker liner (we use Reynolds brand), parchment paper, or foil. This will make removing it much more manageable. Not to mention, it will also make for easy cleanup.

How do I store leftovers?

Any leftover pie can be stored in an airtight container and placed in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Is there a substitution for corn syrup?

Yes. You can replace 1 cup of light corn syrup with 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar dissolved in 1/4 cup of hot water.

Can I freeze this pecan pie?

You sure can! Allow the pie to cool completely, and then wrap it with several layers of plastic wrap. You can also place it in a freezer-safe container once covered.

Is this pie best eaten hot or cold?
