For this easy copycat pie recipe, you'll want to have a 9-inch pie dish, rolling pin (if you are making your own crust), parchment paper for pies and pie weights, measuring cups and spoons, medium mixing bowl, spatula and a cooling rack.

How to Make My Costco Pecan Pie

This recipe is straightforward and perfect for beginner bakers or busy holiday hosts.

Set your oven to 425F. For a homemade crust, dust your counter with flour and roll the dough to about ⅛-inch thick. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish, leaving roughly ¾-inch overhang. Fold the edges upward, then crimp to shape.

Line the crust with parchment and fill with pie weights. Blind bake for 5-10 minutes. If using a store-bought crust, thaw according to the package and prebake the same way.

In a medium mixing bowl add corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter (slightly cooled), dark brown sugar, salt and vanilla and mix well with a spatula until all the butter is absorbed.

Add eggs and mix until fully combined. Then add chopped pecans and mix to incorporate. Pour into pie crust and top with pecan halves.

Bake for 10 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350F. Bake for another 30-35 minutes (if the center should be slightly jiggly and will set as it cools) and allow it to cool on a cooling rack.

Hint: Always be sure to allow adequate time for your pie to cool. This allows the filling to truly set up making for a beautiful slice that will hold up once cut.

How to Store Costco Pecan Pie

If you have somehow managed to have leftovers of your pecan pie then don’t worry as you can easily store it for future enjoyment.

• Refrigerator: Store tightly covered once pie is cool in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Freezer: Once cooled, wrap individual sliced tightly and freeze up to 2-3 months. I like to wrap individual slices so we can take out what we need.
• Reheating: Thaw overnight in the fridge and warm slices in the microwave slowly or in the oven before serving. Alternatively, you can enjoy room temperature too.

What to Serve with Costco Pecan Pie

Serve this rich and nutty copycat Costco pie with cozy drinks, classic toppings or savory holiday favorites to round out the perfect dessert moment.

• Warm Drinks: Crockpot hot chocolate, hot apple cider, Irish coffee with Baileys, hot chocolate with Baileys.
• Popular Thanksgiving Pies: Apple pie, pumpkin pie using sweetened condensed milk, turkey pot pie.

Top Tips

Bake the pie on the center rack for an even cook and crisp crust. Watch closely, the filling should still jiggle slightly when done

• Use a Pie Shield: Keeping in mind all ovens can run a bit differently, if needed, use a pie shield to prevents the edges from over-browning during the long bake time.
• Avoid Overmixing the Eggs: Lightly beat the eggs; overmixing can lead to a pudding-like texture on top.
• Check Early: Ovens vary, if the top is browning too fast, tent loosely with foil.
• Add Chopped Pecans Last: Putting the pecans in the filling last ensures they stay intact and crunchy in the filling.
