This is the award-winning pecan pie with a buttery crust, a deep, gooey center, and a generous topping of toasted pecans. The signature dish of a 65-year-old family bakery in Houston, Texas, where the pecan is the official state nut, this decadent indulgence has earned raves from multiple foodie publications and was deemed the best mail-order pecan pie in the U.S. by Country Living Magazine. Instead of traditional pastry, the crust is made from a secret cookie dough recipe that yields a thicker, shortbread-style base and provides the necessary support for the extra deep filling. Made with an extravagant 1/2-lb. of pecans that rise to the top and turn golden brown during baking. 10" pie provides 10 slices. (2 3/4 lbs.)
