German Chocolate Pecan Pie

I'm working on Thanksgiving, so the pie preparations must begin early! This recipe actually came from an American Way magazine that Cornell found on one of his flights. Super easy! (Believe me, I actually just made four of these!) It does make a large amount of pie filling, so definitely buy the deep dish variety, and maybe even some mini crusts for any leftovers you will probably have. This will totally satisfy your sweet tooth.
