Introduction
Pecan pie is a cherished part of the Thanksgiving dessert menu for many families. After all the hard work that goes into preparing the holiday feast, you want your pie to be perfect when itufffds time to sit down and enjoy your meal.
Baked pies can be stored at room temperature, covered loosely with aluminum foil or plastic wrap, for four to five days. Pecans are a high-fat nut, so pecan pie will stay fresh longest if stored in the refrigerator. Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or place in a resealable bag. It will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
What You Will Need
Pecan pie is a Thanksgiving staple, but what do you do with all those leftover slices? This guide will show you how to store pecan pie so it stays fresh and delicious.
You will need:
-an airtight container
-wax paper
-pie dish
Instructions:
1. Let the pie cool completely before storing.
2. Wrap the entire pie or individual slices in wax paper.
3. Place the wrapped pie in an airtight container or a resealable bag.
4. Store in the refrigerator for up to four days.
5. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 30 seconds before serving.
Step One: Preheat The Oven
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step Two: Place Pecans In The Pie Shell
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract. Pour pecan mixture into pastry shell.
Step Three: Bake The Pie
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 50 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool before serving.
Step Two: Prepare The Pecans
Pecans, like all nuts, can turn rancid quickly if not stored properly. You can extend the shelf life of your pecans by storing them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. If you need to store your pecans for longer than a few weeks, they can be stored in the freezer for up to a year.
When it comes to pecan pie, there are two schools of thought on how to store it. Some people feel that pecan pie is best served freshly baked, while others believe that the flavors develop and meld better if the pie is allowed to sit for a day or two before serving.
If you’re serving your pecan pie fresh out of the oven, be sure to let it cool completely before slicing and serving. Pecan pie can be stored at room temperature for up to two days; simply cover the pie with foil or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
If you’re looking to get ahead on your Thanksgiving baking, or if you simply prefer a more mellow flavor profile in your pecan pie, feel free to bake your pie up to three days in advance. To store a baked pecan pie, allow it to cool completely before covering it tightly with foil or plastic wrap and storing it in the refrigerator. Baked pecan pie will keep in the fridge for up to four days.
Step Three: Make The Pie Crust
Now that you have all of your ingredients, it’s time to get started on the pie crust. Making a homemade pie crust is not as difficult as you may think. With a little practice, you will be able to make a flaky, delicious crust that will be the perfect complement to your pecan pie filling.
There are two types of pie crusts that you can make: a traditional crust made with flour and fat, or a graham cracker crust. If you are using a traditional flour and fat crust, you will need to combine the flour, fat, salt, and water in a large bowl and mix until the ingredients are well combined. Once the ingredients are combined, you will need to roll out the dough on a floured surface. Be sure to roll the dough out evenly so that it is about ufffd-inch thick.
Once the dough is rolled out, you will need to place it in a pie dish and trim off any excess dough. Be sure to press the dough into the sides of the dish so that it is evenly distributed. Once the dough is in place, you can add your pecan pie filling and bake according to recipe instructions.
If you are using a graham cracker crust, you will simply need to mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter until they are well combined. Once the ingredients are combined, you will press them into an 8×8-inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and let cool before adding your pecan pie filling.
Step Four: Fill The Pie Crust

Step Six: Let The Pie Cool
Once your pecan pie is done baking, let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This will give the filling time to set properly. If you’re in a hurry, you can refrigerate the pie for 1 hour to speed up the process.
When the pie is completely cooled, cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze pecan pie for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen pie in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
