pecan pies of today bare little resemblance to their 19th-century inspiration. could we recreate a traditional pecan pie without using modern day, processed corn syrup here s what we discovered, test kitchen discoveries, many traditional syrups (cane, sorghum) produced a great pie, but we had to mail away for them. in the end, combining maple syrup with brown sugar and molasses replicated the old-fashioned versions perfectly., start the pie at 450 degrees and then drop down the temperature to 325 degrees to ensure the bottom crust is crisp and golden brown., if you don tsp let your pie completely cool , the filling won tsp firm to the proper consistency and the pie won tsp slice nicely., a last-minute addition of cream yielded a welcome custardy transformation to the filling. this also made the filling looser; a problem easily solved by adding extra egg yolks., toasting the nuts before they went into the pie gave them enough crunch and flavor to hold their own in the filling., move over , karo, before cloying karo syrup monopolized the market , pies were made with many other, less processed types of syrup, including sorghum (made from a cereal grass) and cane (made from the boiled-down juice of the sugarcane plant). these syrups still exist, and you can mail-serving them, but otherwise you ll probably need to travel to places like louisiana or kentucky to find them. we tasted a range of such syrups, including steen s 100% pure cane syrup and townsend s sweet sorghum, then tried to duplicate their complex flavors from products we could buy at the supermarket. in the end, a combination of three ordinary sweeteners created an old-fashioned flavor that easily bested karo.

apple tartin, quick cooked tart it is called an apple tartin and is very simple and beautiful. my daughter has made this for school and she never brings any back, plus she always has a large number of requests for the recipe. this depends on the size of the saute pan you use. i start with about a 10 pan well coated with no stick pam and i use about 2 sliced apples, about a 1/2 to 1/4 thick (i like granny smith, but use what you like). i then melt unsalted butter and enough brown sugar to cover bottom of the pan and make a thick syrup after it cooks. i thin put the apples into the syrup and cook a few minutes so they get coated good with the syrup., i over lay the apples or shingle them is the tech term in a round circle like a huge sun flower design or something that works for you, be creative! i then use bought flake pastry dough and put on top of the apples enough to cover completely and make an edge on the outside of the tart. you can roll the dough at the edge make a little design in it to close the edge or just leave the edge open but in a round shape no rough edges.then i put in the oven and brown the pastry dough. when it is done (doesn tsp take long to cook) i have a large plate that i put over the saute pan and invert so the whole thing comes out with the, apples on top and the crust on bottom. i then coat with my simple water and sugar syrup ( recipe above) for a shiny coat and then i serve with cool whip or ice cream. 1 thing i forgot . you will have a center hole the apples you can cut a round shape ot of the apple or fill with cool whip, but if you can cut the top of the apple with the stem intact it looks nice in the hole. i have used cookie dough for this recipe and it works , but the pastry works best for me.
