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.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup margarine melted or butter
  • 3 tsp flour
  • 2 cups brown sugar or brown sugar substitute to make sugar free
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp white vinegar
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups pecans Original recipe calls for 1 cup but I use 2 cups
  • 2 pie crusts

Method
 

  1. Mix all ingredients together except pecans.
  2. If brown sugar is lumpy, use a fork to break the lumps up.
  3. Once smooth, fold in pecans.
  4. Pour into crust and bake for 55 - 60 minutes until set.
  5. After 20 - 30 minutes baking time, check crust. If it is golden brown place a pie shield or aluminum foil over the crust edges to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from oven when done and enjoy!
