Pecan pie is a traditional dessert in American cuisine, made with pecans (a type of nut), sugar, eggs, and butter or oil. The filling for this pie typically consists of chopped pecans mixed together with corn syrup, sugar, and other ingredients such as butter, vanilla extract, and sometimes cinnamon or other spices. Once the filling is prepared, it is poured into a baked pie crust and chilled until set before being served. Pecan pie has a rich, sweet flavor with a texture that is both creamy and crunchy due to the presence of pecans in every bite. It's often enjoyed as a holiday dessert or special occasion treat.
