Pecan pie gets respect on the holiday table. Maybe that's because people don't know how incredibly easy this pie can be. Start with a Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust, and most of the work is done. 

Three steps to a pecan pie (you won't believe how easy this is):

1. Stir it. Stir together an easy filling with sugar, eggs, corn syrup and a few other ingredients, then add the pecans.
   
   
2. Unroll it. Unroll a refrigerated pie crust into a pie pan and pour the filling into the crust.
   
   
3. Bake it. It doesn't get much easier.

Start with the pie crust. Pecan pies are always single-crust pies. Just unroll a Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust into a pie plate, and the work is almost done. In a package of pie crusts, you get two crusts, so why not make two pies, a classic and an extra-rich, decadent pecan pie with chocolate? 

Pecan pie filling. The brown-sugary filling with crunchy pecans can't really be topped, but add-ins can vary the flavor, making a great pie the ultimate holiday dessert. We've got pecan pies with apples, dates, coffee and more.

Five tips to get you started:

1. Soften it. Take the pie crust out of the refrigerator to soften before you use it, as directed on the package.
   
   
2. Don't stretch it. Try not to stretch the pie crust when you put it in the pan.
   
   
3. Use glass or dull-metal pie pans. Shiny pans keep refrigerated crusts from getting brown, and dark pans cause too much browning.
   
   
4. Use the size pan called for in a recipe. Refrigerated pie crusts are designed for 8- or 9-inch pie pans and 10-inch tart pans.
