The mighty Pecan takes its name from a Native American word of Algonquin origin, and while the jury is still out on its preferred pronunciation (pah-KAHN, PEE-can, PEE-kahn—you pick), we think most would agree that its noblest use is in the making of a classic dessert: Pecan Pie. 
    
Trader Joe’s Pecan Pie is an indulgent nod to Southern culinary tradition. Its buttery, brown-sugary base is decidedly sweet, just as a pecan pie should be; its soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture is the ideal counterpoint to the generous amounts of crunchy pecans added to each batch. The Pie is baked just until set, creating a crispy outer crust and a gooey, caramelized center. Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream for dessert, or alongside a freshly brewed cup of coffee for breakfast. Because who says you can’t have pie for breakfast? Certainly not us.
