Maple Chess Pie
Ingredients:
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon maple extract
3/4 cup chopped pecans, optional
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Press the pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep dish pie plate.
In a medium bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. Stir in the cornmeal, vinegar, and maple extract until well-blended. Fold in pecans so they are evenly distributed, if using. Pour into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the top of the pie is golden brown, and the filling is set. When removing the pie from the oven, give it a gentle shake. If there is no movement, the pie is set. The pie will thicken and shrink slightly upon cooling.

Notes: This was another favorite. This was so good. On Allrecipes, the author said, "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."
We omitted the nuts due to my son's tree nut allergy. It was fantastic.
Southern Brown Sugar Pie
Ingredients:
1 pound light brown sugar
1 stick butter, melted
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 9-inch pie crust
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare pie pan with pie dough.
Whisk together eggs and add in sugar, butter, and vanilla.
Whisk together until combined well and smooth.
Pour mixture into pie crust. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown.
Watch the pie crust during baking. You may need to cover crust with aluminum foil to prevent crust from browning too much.

Notes: This was another one of my favorites. It's very rich though, so heads up! This is a little like a pecan pie without the pecans.

Notes: Of the two pineapple pies (the other one is below), this was my favorite. The pineapple helped it set up and hold shape better. I loved the addition of the pineapple and this one wasn't overly sweet.
