PMc says:

This recipe is a favorite because it has the flavors of pecan pie without making a homemade crust. For easier preparation, you can use pre-chopped pecans to save time and get a consistent texture throughout. For even baking, make sure the biscuits are spread evenly in the pan.

Pecan Pie Bubble Up Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I use a different type of biscuit? Refrigerated biscuit dough works best for this recipe, but crescent roll dough can be a substitute.
  • Can this be made ahead of time? It’s best served warm, but you can assemble it and bake just before serving. Reheat leftovers in the oven for the best texture.
  • How do I store leftovers? Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and warm them slightly before serving to maintain the gooey texture.
