Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the crust
Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish and tidy the edges.
Mix the dry ingredients
In a bowl, combine sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly blended.
Add crackers and pecans
Fold in the crushed crackers and chopped pecans so they’re coated by the sugar mixture.
Stir in vanilla
Add the vanilla and mix briefly. You’re aiming for an even mixture, not a long stir.
Fill the pie shell
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and gently level the top with a spoon.
Bake
Bake for 40 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and the center looks set.
Cool and slice
Let the pie cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then slice. Add a little powdered sugar if you like.
