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.

This is a very old Southern recipe. It's a very sweet, rich pie which cannot be described as anything but marvelous. This is not my personal recipe but was passed to me by my grandmother and from her grandmother and so on and so forth.

This yummy pie is made with skim milk, but you 'd never know it. It tastes rich, lemony and very sweet. Beaten egg whites are folded into the filling for volume. This lovely old-fashioned pie bakes up golden, and perfectly sets in less than an hour.

This is a deceptively simple pie to make that boasts a wonderful creamy, sweet lemon filling. Eggs, lots of sugar, butter, milk, fresh lemon juice, and a bit of white cornstarch for thickening, are stirred up, poured into a pastry shell, and baked. Dust the top of pie with freshly grated nutmeg.
