I have something to share with you.

Not every dish will not look perfect. In fact, some things will look a hot mess and be completely delicious. One of those things is the recipe that I am sharing with you today for brown sugar pie. This pie looks like it has had a rough day and lost. I actually questioned if it was worth sharing or not.

I decided to share it anyway because I want you to know this community is a safe space and my hope is that you will get in the kitchen and experiment. Everything will not be perfect and that is okay. The practice is what makes you better. No one is a five-star worthy cook their first or tenth time in the kitchen. Even though I have mastered how to make the perfect macaron, I still can burn a batch of brown and serve rolls. Go figure.

But back to this pie, it looks this way because it rises and becomes puffy while it is baking and this deflates once it begins to cool. Similar to souffle and the famous Milk Bar Crack Pie®.

It is perfectly normal and I feel it has a rustic appeal to it. At any rate, this pie is delicious and one that you want to add to your recipe box to give a try. Trust me, you will love it!

What ingredients for this simple pie recipe?

1. Brown sugar
2. Butter
3. Eggs
4. Milk
5. All-purpose flour
6. Almond extract, or any you prefer
7. Pie crust

How to make this brown sugar pie recipe:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Unwrap the packaging of the pie crust and place in a pie dish if you needed. In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or wire whisk, blend together the butter and brown sugar. Add in the eggs, milk, almond extract, all-purpose flour, and salt. Continue mixing until all of the ingredients are combined. The mixture will be thin and runny.

Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.

Place into the preheated oven and bake from 50 to 55 minutes until the center of the pie has set and the top has lightly browned. The pie will rise and become puffy while baking, but once removed from the oven it will deflate and settle. This will cause the pie to crack which is normal. Allow the pie to cool before cutting to serve.

Tips to make the best brown sugar pie:

• Make sure the pie crust is 9-inches. This recipe makes 1 pie.
• The mixture will fill the pie crust almost to the top, place a sheet pan under the pie as it bakes to prevent spilling in the oven.
• Use any flavoring extract that you prefer. Try vanilla, lemon, or butter extracts.
• If you prefer not to use melted butter, use room temperature butter and cream together the brown sugar and butter until smooth before adding the other ingredients.
• If you add warm melted butter to cold ingredients the butter will solidify, continue mixing until the batter smoothes out.

How do you store sugar pie?

Once the baked sugar pie has completely cooled, cover the pie and store in the refrigerator. Store the pie in the refrigerator and enjoy up to 4 days.
