Homemade Pecan Pie Recipe

For some people the Thanksgiving meal is not complete without a slice of pecan pie.  But for me, growing up we never had pecan pie as part of our Thanksgiving desserts.  It was just the usual apple pie and pumpkin pie.

I really can't remember when exactly we started including pecan pie with the other desserts, I just know I'm happy we do now! My sister always makes the pecan pie and it's always delicious.  Just so you know, I think it's perfectly fine to have a piece of apple, pumpkin and pecan pie for dessert on Thanksgiving.
