Tips and Tricks:
- Choosing Apples: Granny Smith apples are recommended for their tartness, but feel free to use your favorite variety for a unique flavor twist.
- Perfect Pecans: Toast your pecans lightly before adding them to the pie for an extra depth of flavor.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the pie crust and filling ahead of time and assemble just before baking for a convenient dessert option.
