Step One: Prepare the Crockpot
- Generously spray the inside of your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Roll out the uncooked piecrust and carefully lay it inside the crockpot. Gently press the crust into the bottom and up the sides, about ½ inch from the top. This creates a natural edge for the pie.
Step Two: Make the Filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until slightly frothy.
- Add the sugar and dark Karo syrup, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Slowly pour in the melted margarine, mixing consistently to combine.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans. The mixture will be thick but pourable.
Step Three: Assemble the Pie
- Carefully pour the filling mixture into the prepared crust in the crockpot.
- Use a spoon to distribute the pecans evenly, ensuring they’re well-dispersed for even baking.
Step Four: Cook to Perfection
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to HIGH.
- Cook for 2–3 hours, depending on your crockpot’s heat. The pie is done when the filling is set and slightly firm in the center.
- To check, gently press the filling; it should have a slight jiggle but not be runny.
- Avoid lifting the lid too often during cooking, as this releases heat and may increase cooking time.
Step Five: Cool and Serve
- Turn off the crockpot and let the pie cool slightly before removing it.
- Use the edges of the crust to gently lift the pie out, or carefully slice it inside the crockpot.
- Allow the pie to rest for 20–30 minutes to firm up fully.
Serving Suggestions
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra layer of indulgence.
- Garnish with whole pecans for a professional finish.
Storage Tips
- Refrigerate: Cover leftovers tightly and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Wrap slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
