Brown Sugar Pie, Sort Of

 

Hello everyone, well I am still here, but having guest for 10 days is just way tooo long. I am sort of in a coma and my house is falling down around me. I will say Leavenworth was so beautiful (which I have no pictures of, because my battery died and I forgot to pack the extra one)

I did want to share a very yummy pie I made, perfect for fall. Brown sugar pie, well sort of. I cook with rapadura instead of brown sugar but I felt it was too intense to use alone in this recipe. So I used half rapadura and half sugar (evaporated cane) and some molasses. I thought it gave it a bit more intensity then just brown sugar but not too overpowering. It was very rich and I loved it with just some raw apple slices on the side. Even if you do not cook with rapadura, I encourage you to try using half brown sugar and half sugar with some molasses. I think you will enjoy and find the flavor more complex. I will be back when I can get off the couch and find my living room again  :-o xoxo

LOL! I think 10 days is long time even for someone that I really really like! I'm sure you need to rest from having guests and have a lot of catching up to do (at least that's what happens to me).

Hi Clarice! I hope that you can catch your breath and take some time to relax. Having company for that long can certainly take the wind from your sails - though it is also quite fun I am sure.

Thank you for the recipe. Sounds DEVINE!

This recipe looks really yummy. We are having guests next week to go apple picking, and I think this might be a good desert for afterward when we come home for dinner. It's definitely hitting my fall rotation seeing as I've never tried such a thing.

It's great to have you back, hope you find your rhythm soon.

Yay! You're back!

This sounds very interesting. I've never made a pie like this before and hearing you talk about it makes me want to try. Will let you know how it comes out-
