Maple Chess Pie

I was in the middle of making a Chess pie and realized I was out of vanilla extract. I substituted some maple extract I had on hand, added some pecans and the result was delicious. This pie is decadent and rich, so fortunately a small slice will do. I think this would be a great pie for Thanksgiving. Top with sweetened whipped cream or whipped topping if desired.

A chess pie is sort of like a pecan pie - but without the pecans! Great for sugar-holics.

This is a wonderful version of this classic buttery, sweet pie, but a smidgen of cornmeal and condensed milk are stirred in just before it 's poured into the pie shell and baked.
