Notes

  • To make the perfect Ann Lander's Pecan Pie, use dark brown sugar as it has a deeper, more intense flavor than light or golden brown sugar.
  • For an extra crunchy crust, add a tablespoon of chopped pecans to the unbaked pie shell before adding the filling.
  • You can substitute white sugar for the white corn syrup if desired.
