We make our own maple syrup. Bart's sister and her husband grow their own pecans. How homemade can you get? We're having this for dessert tonight. Dinner is roast beef, roasted vegetables, applesauce, mashed potatoes, and yeast rolls.
Ingredients:
- 1 prepared unbaked pastry shell, 9-inch
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups pecan pieces or halves
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350° and place rack at lowest position. In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add maple syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Blend well and stir in pecans. Pour into prepared pie shell. Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is set.
I added 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts. This was so delicious! Michael Finazzo came by after dinner and had some pie, and brought a slice home to his dad. By bedtime, all the pie was gone.
