AMISH PECAN PIE
AMISH PECAN PIE: This recipe comes to me from a Beachy Amish Mennonite man in rural Georgia. Â What is so striking to me isn't the recipe, but the script.
He's sent me a number of recipes and, as you can see, his penmanship is almost art. Â But the pecan pie recipe sounds good too:) Â So here it is! Â He does say you can up the amount of brown sugar in the recipe if you like a sweeter pie (that'd be me). Â I'm not sure how this pie recipe differs from other pecan pie recipes, but I would imagine using some fresh Georgia pecans would make a difference. Â Either way, pecan pie is a southern specialty so if you are wanting a truly authentic recipe I can't imagine a better source then a Mennonite man in deep, rural Georgia. Â Enjoy!

This pie sounds interesting. I have lived in GA all my life and have never seen a pecan pie with maple flavoring. I might try it! That handwriting is beautiful. Mine seems to get worse all the time!
Kevin
You and me, both, Bonnie...my handwriting is atrocious!
Barbara
Can I use Vanilla Pure Extract instead of Maple Flavoring??
I don’t have any Maple and want to try this pie.
Kevin Williams
Yes, Barbara, that should work just fine. Let me know how it turns out!
Carla
I have real Maple syrup, can I use in place of Maple flavor?
Kevin Williams
Real maple is even better, go ahead and use it!
