Brown Sugar Pie
Brown Sugar Pie
This homey pie is reminiscent of a pecan pie, without the pecans. It is slightly less rich and not as dense as most pecan pies but with a wonderful texture and caramel flavor. It’s best served warm, and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of real whipped cream on top.This recipe was originally published in The Baltimore Sun.
