This makes a firm, not gooey, not liquidity pie. It is so good. I threw away my recipe using syrup.
Brenda’s Pecan Pie
1 pound box of light brown sugar
1 stick of margarine, melted
4 eggs
2 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons of yellow cornmeal( plain not self-rising)
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped pecans
2 regular frozen pie shells, unbaked
Mix everything in a bowl, but the nuts. Put one cup of nuts in each pan and divide the filling between the 2 pie shells. I put the pies on a sheet pan and bake them at 325* for 45 minutes. Let cool.

Yes, yellow cornmeal is different in a pie, but it thickens it along with the eggs. The first time I tasted it I had to have the recipe. I even converted my Mom to switch recipes.

This is a different take on pecan pie - I love this one because it cuts down on the sweetness but you still get the great pecan pie flavor. Plus, it makes two pies, so the amount of sugar in a serving is cut down considerably! This uses two regular pie shells, NOT deep dish, so it makes a thinner pie and takes less time to bake.
Cream Cheese Pecan Pie
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
Ingredients:
1 - 8 oz pkg cream cheese
4 eggs
1 cup corn syrup - light or dark
1-1/4 cup pecans
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
2 regular pie shells - unbaked
Directions:
Beat cream cheese, 1 egg, and sugar together. Pour evenly in unbaked pie shells.
Sprinkle the pecans over this mixture
Beat the other 3 eggs until frothy, then add syrup, salt and vanilla.
Pour this mixture over the pecans.
Bake pies at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes. You may need to check depending on your oven, just make sure the pecans have come to the top and don't let them burn.
I make this a little healthier by using the low fat cream cheese, it works just as well as regular.
I also sometimes use 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of Egg Beaters (equal to 2 eggs)
