Great-Grandma Peavy’s Pecan Pie

Cookin' With Bobbi Jo

I will post the recipe below. This recipe makes 2 pies. To convert this to a sugar-free pie, use a brown sugar substitute like Swerve or Splenda. There are many brands of brown sugar substitute these days. All the other ingredients stay the same. Some sugar substitutes are sweeter than others so you may have to experiment with what tastes best to you. I used Swerve and my parents loved the pie. They did say it was a little sweet but they just had smaller slices. The whole pie was gone quickly though.

This is my Great-Grandma's pecan pie recipe. This recipe makes 2 pies. The only difference between regular and sugar free is the sweetener. Use brown sugar substitute for the sugar free version.
