    Amish Pecan Pie

    Published: Aug 8, 2014 · Updated: Nov 19, 2014 by Kevin Williams | 6 Comments

    AMISH PECAN PIE

    AMISH PECAN PIE: This recipe comes to me from a Beachy Amish Mennonite man in rural Georgia.  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.  But the pecan pie recipe sounds good too:)  So here it is!  He does say you can up the amount of brown sugar in the recipe if you like a sweeter pie (that'd be me).  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.  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.  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!

      Can I use Vanilla Pure Extract instead of Maple Flavoring??
      I don’t have any Maple and want to try this pie.
