Double Pecan Pie is the perfect pie for the nut lovers amongst us. In my case, that extreme nut lover is my husband. When developing this Double Pecan Pie, I added a layer of chopped nuts on the bottom crust. For the nuts on the top of the filling, I use the largest and most perfect pecans in my supply. When you arrange them neatly in concentric circles, the results are beautiful. The filling puffs up a bit over the top of the nuts and Voila! It’s a slam dunk.
