One thing I would recommend is to make two, one to devour as soon as it comes out of the oven that’s been smothered with butter, and one to serve cold. Just look at that butter seeping into the nooks and crannies of this delicious dessert.

The original recipe called for walnuts but because I love pecans, I switched it up a bit and added chopped pecans instead. SO good.
