Butterscotch Pecan Slab Pie

Recipe by Claire Saffitz x Dessert Person

A thin, rectangular Thanksgiving slab pie that packs the classic pecan topping with a buttery butterscotch custard filling. The crust is crisp, the filling is caramel‑buttery with a hint of cocoa and coffee, and the toasted pecans stay crunchy. Made in a Made In 9×13 porcelain baking slab for even heating and easy serving.
