This was always my most favorite dessert at Luby's. It's a very unusual pie, but sooo gooood. I'm almost afraid to know how to make it for fear that I will then eat the whole thing.

I have been making this pie for years. It was always on my tray when we ate at Lubys. It is even better the second day but it rarely last that long at my house!!

Wonderful! I was searching for this pie and was thrilled to find it posted on Zaar. This has been my favorite pie at Luby's since I was a little girl but the recipe title doesn't really fit. This crustless pie is sweet, full of pecans, crunchy, chewy and has a caramel flavor that I always assumed was brown sugar, but is actually broken graham crackers. It's really a giant meringue topped with whipped cream but is just SO good. I would reduce the pecans a bit, just a personal preference. Great comfort food. Thanks so much, Molly, for sharing the recipe!
