GREAT GRANDMA'S CARROT PECAN PIE
Yum! This is not your average pecan pie. It's a cross between a carrot cake and a pecan pie. It's a match made in pie heaven! The crunchy brown sugar and not topping is the perfect touch. It tastes like fall with every bite.

SWEET CARROT PECAN PIE
During the depression, government food banks provided potatoes and carrots. Many dishes were developed such as carrot pie to bring something sweet to the table without taking too much from already empty pockets. Here's a modern day version using sweetened condensed milk to give the pie a smooth creamy consistency. Enjoy!
