After completing a year of cookies and a year of cakes, it’s time to tackle the pie community. Pie is known as the most American dessert, thus the saying “as American as apple pie”. Once a week, I will hang out in my kitchen with recipe in hand and utensils nearby, to fill my pie plate with hopefully something delicious. Travel with me throughout this year on this pie adventure. Rolling pin, get ready to roll! It will be “as easy as pie!”

Pie Recipe #48 - Pecan Pie
There's nothing sweeter than a good pecan pie. This is the usual companion to the ever-popular pumpkin pie for our Thanksgiving dessert (along with pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and pumpkin spice fudge). It really is simple to make-mix the ingredients, pour into a pie shell, bake, and finally, enjoy!!
Ingredients: 9-inch pie crust (homemade or pre-made), 2/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup butter, melted, 1 cup corn syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3 eggs, 1 cup pecan halves or broken pieces (I leave some whole, for looks).
Instructions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare pastry. In a medium bowl, beat sugar, butter, corn syrup, salt and eggs. Stir in pecans. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate.
Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until set. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
