Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup corn syrup (I use maple syrup)
1/2 cup light cream or 1/2 cup milk
1 cup walnut pieces or 1 cup pecan pieces
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell

Steps:

Prepare an unbaked 9" pie shell. Preheat oven to 350°F.
In double-boiler top, with electric mixer at medium speed, or with spoon, mix 1/2 cup light brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter until well blended.
Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar; mix well. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition, to blend. Add 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 cup corn syrup, 1/2 cup light cream or milk; mix well.
Cook over boiling water, stirring, 5 minutes. Remove from water; stir in 1 cup pecan halves or walnut pieces and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Pour into lined pie plate.
Bake 1 hours.
The filling is very light and not real sweet and syrupy. It puffs up when baking and shrinks just slightly during cooling.
