No apple pies, alas, due to not having apples. But I was in the mood for pies. I wanted to make a pecan pie because we had a really poor one on Thanksgiving, and we had to get the memory of that one out of our palates' minds. So, I baked my usual "Honey Pecan Pie". Honey is a lovely sweetener whereas corn syrup just imparts too cloying a sweetness.
Honey Pecan Pie
1 C honey
1/2 C (1 stick) melted butter
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/8 t salt
1 t vanilla extract
1.5 C chopped pecans
1 9" unbaked pie crust
Mix first 5 ingredients together, stir in pecans, and pour into pie crust. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.
Easy, no?
I also made a sweet potato pie because we have a bunch of sweet potatoes in storage.

I LOVE pecan pie! Ok, you must tell me about your sweet potato pie. What do you do different? All the sweet potato pie I've had tastes like mashed sweet potatoes with crust, and I'm not amused.
Ummm.... I love pecan pie!!
Love both pies- but especially I've fond of pecan pie- your recipe sounds wonderful!!!
THANK YOU!! for the pecan pie recipe...I made one for Thanksgiving..and had to use corn syrup...and blech! Next time I'll use the honey, I bet its 100X better!!
Ducky, it's been a while since I made this sweet potato pie, so I'll have to taste it and see if it's good or not. I feel that way about all pumpkin pies, and pumpkin isn't even sweet! ;)
Together and Carrie, pecan pie is one of my all time favs too!
Stace, I hope you like this! Sometimes if ppl aren't used to honey, they might think this tastes a bit odd, but like I said, the honey doesn't have that cloying quality that corn syrup does. :)
Oh man, that pie recipe looks soooooo good. Though I had to admit that my favorite part about the pie is always the crust. I could take or leave the insides (LOL!) =)
I love apple pies made from chickens. ;}
Oooo, I love the idea of subbing honey for corn syrup in pecan pie. Hands down, pecan pie is my favorite pie and I haven't even had a piece yet this year:(
Thanks for the recipe for pecan pie! My husband LOVES pecan pie, so I'll have to make this for him (I love pecans also, but due to a GI condition, cannot eat very many of them and definitely could not eat a piece of pecan pie).
Yum!!!! All this baking is making me veeerrrry hungry. Are you trying to tease me?!?!
Thanks for the sweet potato pie recipe. Every time I've tried one, it's like mashed sweet potatoes with a crust--except my mashed sweet potatoes are better because they have more cinnamon!
