For an extra nutty flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping. If you don't have pie weights, you can use dried rice or lentils. To prevent the banana slices from browning, brush them with a little lemon juice before arranging them on the pie. Feel free to experiment with different flavors of instant pudding, such as vanilla or butterscotch. This pie can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator.
