Yikes, who'd go to all that trouble to make one serving of pie? I could make a whole pie in less time. That's just not practical.

For people who live alone or have difficulty exercising portion control, I think this recipe is perfect. Sometimes, you might just have a craving for something that you know you will go overboard if a standard size of that craving is made. This pie may be eaten in one serving without the guilt or perhaps cut in half with the second piece saved for later to balance or compensate for the 'work' required to make it---although I think it's an easy recipe to make

@Kachina624

I would 'go to all that trouble to make one serving'. I would think it would be very practical for some people, including myself. Try being positive for a change.

I just purchase a single slice at my local bakery. I've learned to never bring home a whole pie. So, I get the need for pie for one, with a recipe that seems fairly simple.

I'd give it a try, but my oven is never turned on during summer heat. To do so has my electric meter spinning like a Frisbee, overworking the AC. That'd be a costly little pie, but I'll try it in fall weather. It sounds good.

Edwards has single serving frozen pie slices, Pecan, lemon, chocolate & Key lime. There are two in the box. Individually wrapped. Easy!

@KatieB What a lovely recipe. This would be so cute to make as a surprise for someone special like my Significant other. It will fit in my Oster XL countertop oven so I don't have to heat up the regular oven.

Thank you for sharing. If there are other pie recipes like this out there on the web it would be cute to make a mini pie bar at a gathering like Thanksgiving with some other flavors.

@1Snickers I am not a baker or a cook in anyway shape or form. I do love pecan pie and have purchased Edward's pies before. The single serving of pecan pie is just right! I eat one slice and keep the other slice frozen for another time. Our local United usually has them for around $2.50.

Just because you live alone doesn't mean you can't cook and bake for yourself, you deserve it! The only reason I wouldn't make it, if a recipe has too many ingredients and steps, I'm out!

Thank you for this recipe! My neighbor would love to have a whole little pie just for herself ! And a nicer presentation than just taking her a piece of pie

Ohhh....this is one of my DH’s favorite desserts. What a great idea - - I am not a huge pecan fan, but this recipe for one looks easy and will help my hubby refrain from overindulging (he has to watch his sweets).

Thank you for sharing!

Homemade pie beats anything you can buy at a grocery or any retail store. As for only making a single serving. Great idea for those who can't eat a lot of this type of food and don't want it sitting around becking them to eat it. Great idea! Enjoy!!!

@KatieB : The "shortbread" crust got me. I love Walker's shortbread cookies....wonder if they would do to make the crust. DH is not a "nut" anything person, but me....love anything "nut" LOL. Pecan pie is one of my favorites. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing this, may try it. I am one who needs portion control. Have an idea that is why mug cakes have become so popular, at least at my grocery store there is a large selection. Back to the pie, probably could make in my air fryer or my newly purchased Curtis Stone perfect cooker. The recipe book that came with the Perfect Cooker has several desert recipes for probably two servings.

When I make pecan pie, it is always in the fall and during the holidays. I never turn on the oven in the summer...When I make my pecan pie, I make the crust and put in the pan. I put the pecan halves in the crust, then put all the filling ingredients in the blender and blend just a few seconds...makes all the eggs and sugar really smooth. Then just pour over the pecans in the crust and bake. Easy. You can also bake the whole pie, cool, and freeze slices separately if you want portion control.
