Crock Pot Pecan Pie is a no mess, EASY Pecan Pie Recipe!

If you’re a long time reader of this site, you know I LOVE Reynolds Kitchens. This is my second year being a brand ambassador and I’m so so proud to represent their products with recipes. I have used their foil in some of my favorite recipes like Cheesy Garlic Butter Sandwich Skewers, and I’m OBSESSED with their Parchment Paper for our Applesauce Chocolate Chip Cookies and Loaded Soft Batch Salted Caramel Cookies.

Their products are second to none, especially these super useful Slow Cooker Liners. They make cooking in a crock pot even easier than you thought and cleanup a breeze. They’re absolutely essential for this crock pot recipe. How else would you get that sucker out of there?! With the Reynolds Slow Cooker Liner in place you can just lift it right out. No mess. ALL the flavor.

Tips for Making Pecan Pie in a Slow Cooker

Before today, I never even knew what was in a Pecan Pie. I researched some recipes and came up with what I think is a true winner. This easy pecan pie recipe is sweet, nutty, and oh so delicious. Perfect for the holidays!

  • Always use a slow cooker liner. It will make it easier to get this pie out of your crock pot and also reduce the mess.
  • Use a store-bought crust from the freezer aisle to make things even easier. I prefer crust dough to a crumb crust for this recipe.
  • Allow the pie to cool COMPLETELY before removing from the slow cooker. This is important so that it doesn’t fall apart. If properly cooked all the way through, it will keep its shape well and you can re-heat as needed or serve at room temperature.
  • If you prefer more of a family style dessert, you can leave the crust off completely and dip this out cobbler style! Top with some vanilla ice cream and you’re truly the star of the show!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans plus some pecan halves for decoration
  • 1 Reynolds Slow Cooker Liner
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust
  • 4 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup salted butter melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Place pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes or until browned. Set aside.

  • Place the slow cooker liner in your slow cooker (you can use a small round slow cooker for a deep dish pie or a 6 qt oval for a thinner pie) and place pie crust in the bottom. Press down the bottom and each side to fit the bottom of the cooker. Use your fingers to press the very top of the crust into the slow cooker liner to make sure it adheres (so it won't slump down into the pie later)

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the beaten eggs, corn syrup, sugar, butter, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the pecans, reserving the halves for top.

  • Pour the pie filling into the slow cooker/pie crust. Top with some pecan halves as you wish to decorate. (I just lined the very outside circle with halves as shown)

  • Cook on high for 3 hours (halfway through, give the liner a turn to rotate, taking care because the pie will not be set yet. This is optional but will help when removing later)

  • Turn off the cooker and allow the pie to cool completely before removing/cutting. *note

  • Serve with vanilla bean ice cream if desired!

  • Enjoy!

  • *note: if you don't allow the pie to cool completely it could fall apart when removing from the slow cooker or cutting. If you like to eat your pecan pie hot, you can microwave individual pieces to avoid the entire thing not keeping form.

FAQs

What is a substitute for Karo syrup in pecan pie? ›

For every one cup of corn syrup that the recipe calls for, use one cup of maple syrup instead. The great thing about maple syrup is it has some nutritional benefits. Maple syrup contains antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, such as Vitamin B6, calcium, niacin, potassium, and riboflavin.

Why is my pecan pie always runny? ›

A pecan pie is essentially a custard pie, and a liquid center is almost always the result of underbaking. The Karo Classic Pecan Pie recipe calls for baking the pie for 60 to 70 minutes at 350 degrees. In some ovens, however, the pie can take 75 minutes or more.

Is it better to use light or dark Karo syrup for pecan pie? ›

Light and dark corn syrup can be used interchangeably in almost every instance, with slight flavor variances. In a pecan pie, for example, light corn syrup will contribute sweetness and a hint of vanilla, but that's about it. Dark corn syrup, in addition to sweetness, will add color and a more robust, toasty flavor.

Can I substitute Karo syrup for corn syrup? ›

The British pantry staple has a light, buttery flavor and can be substituted one-to-one for corn syrup. It also happens to have the same chemical properties of corn syrup so it can be used in candy making.

Why is my pecan pie fluffy? ›

Pecan pie filling is extremely liquidy when it first goes into the oven, as it's primarily just sugar, corn syrup, and eggs (though you can use maple syrup as an ingredient swap if you're not keen on corn syrup). As such, you have to cook the pecan pie long enough for this liquid to develop a custard-like consistency.

Why is my pecan pie so hard? ›

Pecan pie can become hard if it is left in the oven for too long or at a higher temperature than necessary. This could happen due to an inaccurate cooking time, temperature or failing to cover with aluminum foil for part of the baking time.

Why is my pecan pie dry? ›

Cook pecan pie too much and it'll crack and be dry. Underbake it and it will be watery and runny. You want to cook pecan pie to an internal temperature of 200°F. Use a digital thermometer to make this easy.

What are common pecan pie mistakes? ›

Pecan pie has a somewhat similar set of issues—the filling can crack, the bottom can be under-baked, the filling can seep under the crust, and the nuts can be soggy. Like the pumpkin pie, the filling will crack if the pie is over-baked or cools too quickly.

How do you get a crispy crust on the bottom of a pie? ›

Choose the Right Rack in the Oven

Which rack you use in the oven can help ensure a crisp crust. Baking the pie on a lower rack will concentrate heat on the bottom of the pie and help the crust crisp.

Should I bake the bottom pie crust first? ›

Pre-baking is a must if you're looking for a flaky pie crust. It's especially helpful for recipes with a wet center. Recipes for most tarts, pies, and quiches call for pre-baking to ensure that the final product doesn't end up soggy.

Can you overcook a pecan pie? ›

Yes, you can overcook a pecan pie.

A pecan pie is likely overcooked or has been in the oven too long if the top turns black or the filling starts to crack. Overbaking your pie can make it sticky or crunchy, causing the filling to become tough, hard, and difficult to eat.

Why is my pecan pie not cooked in the middle? ›

If your pecan pie is still a little soupy, it simply means you need to bake it more. The center or filling of a pecan pie needs time to thicken and set properly.

Should pecan pie be jiggly when it comes out of the oven? ›

You will know your pecan pie is done cooking when you can gently shake the pie dish and see that the center of the pie is not overly jiggly and the outer edges are set. If the pie jiggles a lot when you gently shake the pan, continue cooking it until the center is a little more set.

Can I substitute honey for corn syrup in a pie? ›

Each one varies in taste as well. Some will have a floral flavor while others will have a more bold taste. When substituting honey for corn syrup, using equivalent amounts is recommended. For every one cup of corn syrup, use one cup of honey instead.

Is light corn syrup the same as Karo? ›

The clear Karo® Corn Syrup has been called “light” since the 1940s, before “light” became a popular description for reduced-calorie products. The term “light” in this case refers to the color, and not the number of calories. Consumers may also refer to light corn syrup as “white” corn syrup.

What can I use instead of dark brown Karo syrup? ›

Molasses can be used in place of dark corn syrup in an equal amount when making baked goods, glazes, and sauces. Alternatively, you can combine 1 part molasses with 3 parts light corn syrup to match the color, flavor, and consistency of dark corn syrup more closely.
