More About This Recipe

  • If you ever have leftovers (which won’t be often!) there are a few rules to store pies like pecan pie. You can keep these minis or a regular-size pecan pie in the fridge for up to four days. These pies will also freeze, but the texture of the filling and crust won’t always hold up quite like they do fresh out of the oven. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil, freeze for up to two months and thaw in the fridge before baking to reheat. You can find storage instructions for every type of pie in our handy how to make pie article. We love making pie in mini form, but if you’re looking for even more ways to make pecan pie, we have a whole lot of delicious recipes for you to choose from.
