Andrew is a pecan pie connoisseur. A true expert.

In fact a month into our dating was his birthday, and it was then that I my first killer pecan pie.

in his words "It was magic"

I guess that's why he still likes me over three years later... 

tehehe

That first pie was Paula Dean's Mystery Pecan Pie which has a magical layer of cheese cake-ness on the bottom.

Sometimes I go more traditional and make him Pioneer Woman's Classic Pecan Pie

I make it pretty much to spec, sometimes making my own crust, sometimes cheating.

If I use my pie plate I can generally sneak in some extra pecans.

After making a bunch of Dreamy Apple Pies you definitely appreciate how easy pecan pie really is. No wash'in and chopp'in.

But still gooey and yummy. Best served with a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
