About the Holiday

National Pecan Pie Day is a day to honor this sweet custard pie, topped with crunchy Pecans. Pecan pie is believed to have originated by the French in New Orleans after being introduced to pecans by Native Americans.

Pecan Pie is a staple dessert in the Southern U.S., and is a popular dessert served during holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Celebrate by eating an entire pie and mounds of vanilla ice cream or whipped topping (yummy!). Get to baking and make plenty to go around, because you know there is always room for pie.
