Not THAT kind of pecan pie.
Impossible pies, like this one and the impossible coconut pie from Columbiaville, Michigan, are baked without a crust. The pie forms a thin crust of its own in the pan.
I have no idea what the attraction of this is. If you’re already going to be crushing the graham crackers, how much effort is this really saving?
