How many days in advance can you make pecan pie?
Do you feel like your oven will be busy all day for other amazing food, or you just feel like baking ahead of time? You can totally do that by refrigerating the pie. Bake it up to 4 days ahead and cover or place in the airtight container in the fridge. Freezing is also an option. You can wrap the pie tightly in the freezer friendly plastic or foil. It will be ready to consume for about 2-3 months no problem.
How do you know pecan pie is done
The pecan pie is done when it stops shaking (jiggling ) in the middle when you try to pull it out if the oven. When you insert the knife or a wooden stick is suppose to come out clean. If you will follow this recipe directly, your pumpkin pie should be done in 50 minutes exactly, but of course it depends on the oven you have.

So easy to make! I don’t recommend to eat more then one piece though. Pecan pie is very high in sugar and fat, and its almost 500 calories per slice! But hey, its so good!
