90 min · Easy

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coarsely chop pecans then spread on rimmed baking sheet. Toast in oven until nuts are aromatic and darker in color, about 12 minutes. Cool, then grind half of the nuts into small pieces - keep smaller pieces separate from chopped pieces.

2. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Whisk eggs in large bowl. Whisk in both sugars, then next 5 ingredients. Stir in grinded pecans. Divide filling between prepared crusts. Top filling with coarsely chopped pecans.

3. Bake pies until filling is puffed and just set in center (filling may begin to crack), about 55 minutes. Cool pies completely on rack.
