Cream Cheese Pecan Pie
Servings: 6
Directions
- * I cheat and use the Pillsbury pie crust which you fold out
- ** I've also used Walnuts when I didn't have any pecans and you cannot tell the difference
- Beat cream cheese, 1/3 c. sugar, 1 egg, 1 tsp. vanilla, and salt. When thick, set aside. Beat remaining 3 Large eggs. Add in 1/4 c. sugar, corn syrup, and 1 tsp. vanilla and blend well. Spread cream cheese mix in unbaked pie shell. Sprinkle with pecans. Pour liquid mix over top. Bake in 375 oven 40 min.
- Maribeth Says: This is a family favorite of ours and it came from a bed and breakfast my grandparents stayed in many years ago in Maine. It's become a Thanksgiving tradition along with the old favorite, Pumpkin Pie. It is a pie which will impress your family and will become an instant favorite!
