You can use frozen, but bake it for a few minutes before you put your filling in. And the best recipe for pecan pie is on the side of a bottle of Karo brand syrup. Make sure you measure accurately, it's easy to screw it up.
Good luck and ENJOY!!!!!!

Use the frozen pie shell it is fast and easy and it comes out just fine.

You can use the frozen pie crust, buy the deep dish crust, the filling is very soupy...it firms up upon baking but you want to give it room...

I've used both home made crusts and store bought mixes and premade all are acceptable to use. Good luck hope this helps.

You can use a frozen or the refrigerated kind.

allrecipes.com, i love it! but, you can definitely taste the difference in a store-bought crust and a homemade one. if you feel you can do a good job making your own crust, go for it!
