Pecan Pie

Whoever said making pecan pie is difficult, LIED. Make it for Thanksgiving. This my Aunt Mary's recipe ;)

1 cup corn syrup
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups of pecans
1 unbaked pie crust (9 inches)

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Mix the fix five ingredients together thoroughly. Stir in pecans. Pour mixture into pie crust. Bake for 55 minues to an hour.

Apple Crisp Pie

Happy Pi day!

I'm not very good at putting that top crust on a pie (though I am getting better - see the upper left of the photo. This is my solution - take my crisp recipe, and use it as a topping. Whoa yum. It's that warm, crispiness that I love in crisp, but with many more sweet apples.
1 pie crust
Can or jar of pie filling (I like my apple pie filling in a jar)
2/3 to 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (to taste)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup quick cooking or old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup stick butter
3/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp nutmeg

Arrange pie crust on the bottom of a pie plate. Add the pie filling.

Mix remaining ingredients - personally, I like to use my hands - to create a crumbly, well, mess. Sprinkle crumbles over pie.

Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour (or, whatever the pie filling said.)
