How To Make Classic Pecan Pie
How should I store the Pecan Pie?
You only want to leave this Pecan Pie out on the counter for a few hours. After that, you will want to refrigerate it. It should last for up to 4-6 days when kept stored properly.
Do I serve it warm or cold?
While quite a few pies are served warmed, Pecan Pie is best served just out of the fridge or at room temperature. This allows the inside filling to slightly firm up like a pudding.
