You may have some questions about this recipe title. Who is Mr. Theron? What makes this pie ultimate? Here's the answers!
Mr. Theron was a very nice man who baked pecan pies for friends and family during the Holiday Season. They are legendary. Why is it ultimate? Because to me, this pie has the PERFECT balance of filling to pecans and it's DEEP DISH!
After Mr. Theron passed, a dear friend took it upon himself to keep the tradition alive. I'm very thankful to be a recipient of his generosity and baking skills and he gave me permission to share the recipe with all of you. If you're searching for a show stopping Thanksgiving dessert, look no further.
I promise, you'll come back and leave a comment here once you've made and tasted this pie. Thank you Mr. Theron for leaving us with this wonderful recipe.
