So for my families Easter dinner I was going to bring a dessert that I could eat...for some reason it bugs me (I think it had to do with the fact that for my birthday my mom made a birthday cake I couldn't eat...I usually don't care and will often skip dessert, but it was a birthday cake...for me...that I couldn't eat...I dunno I guess I'm overly sensitive).
So I decided to make a pecan pie...I'd never had it, but for some reason I thought it would be fun. I think it also had something to do with the fact that my sister was making apple pie and I didn't want to bring another fruit pie (which I ended up doing anyways).
The filling was melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, evaporated milk and chopped pecans. I then baked it for half an hour. I chose this recipe because it was one of the few that didn't have corn syrup...I thought that would make the pie too sweet.
The end result was really yummy and I think I now have a new favourite pie! I will say though I wasn't a huge fan of the pecans. After the first few bites I ended up scraping them off and enjoying the custardy like filling with yummy pastry.
It was just too good for words!
