BROWN SUGAR PIE
This Brown Sugar Pie won’t last long..EVER. Every time I serve it, it goes quick! It’s an old-fashioned recipe that has been around for years. We love to serve this simple dessert anytime, but I know many people love it during the holidays. It couldn’t be easier to make, and it’s fabulous with whipped cream or ice cream.
Brown Sugar Pie Ingredients Needed:
Brown sugar
All-purpose flour
Eggs
Butter, melted
Milk
Lemon extract
1 (9 inch) pie crust, unbaked
Many people have said that this pie tastes like a pecan pie without the pecans. I love how ridiculously easy it is and that it always receives wonderful comments.

Good pie. I added a cup of crunchy peanut butter and oh yes….. perfect with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Hi:
Does it matter if you use light or dark brown sugar?
Nope!
This is SUCH a delightful recipe! As it is almost October, I decided to omit the lemon and instead added a splash of vanilla and a dash of cinnamon. I served it with a light vanilla cinnamon whipped cream and it was like taking a bite of Fall! Not too sweet and the texture of pecan pie! Wonderfully simple and delicious! Definitely will be making again!
We are so glad this was a hit Cecilia!
Thank you so much for this recipe, my mom made this my whole childhood and no one has had the written ingredients since we lost her , made it this morning for a neighbor whose husband passed away suddenly this past weekend, such a treasured memory
So glad you found it and it brought back wonderful memories!
my mother use to make this. it was one of my all time favorites. she was from ky. and cooked old southern meals.
It is a wonderful pie!
The Brown Sugar Pie and Roast Tenderloin with Cherry Sauce will be on my menu this weekend!
This pie is so good!! I was looking for a similar recipe to what my local bakery makes. I think it may even be better than theirs!! Thank for the recipe, delicious!!
YAY!! We’re thrilled you enjoyed it. It’s one of our favorites, too!
Making this now. Will update once my kids give me the thumbs up.
If I made this tonight for Thanksgiving ,how would I store it?
I would put in the fridge Lisa.
I have never tried it with fat free milk.
This looks yummy, will have to try. I guess it doesn’t matter if you use light or dark brown sugar? I know in the South it’s usually a personal preference?
I am making this tomorrow!
Made this pie and loved it !!!! Here in Northern NY along the Canadian border, those of us of French decent have a similar pie we call “Sugar Pie”.
This recipe is so much easier. My family loved it.
My mom’s family is in Canada….my grandmother and aunt both made it but didn’t have a recipes…..you know ….hand full of this, pinch of that….Thanks for the recipe…I’ll definitely be trying it.
Is it okay to just leave out the lemon extract?
Yes, I think you could leave it out.
Thanks! Making this tomorrow – one for us and one for my husband’s twin 🙂
Pecan pie is one of my absolute favorites and this looks like a delicious alternative. It’s refreshing to have a recipe with a few less ingredients on the list. Nothing is more frustrating than a last minute run to the store because your nutmeg is stuck at the bottom of the container!
This brown sugar pie looks wonderful!! Question?-Is this similar to a pecan pie minus the pecans? You have no idea how many times, Ive ordered or made a Pecan pie only to take the top layer of pecans off to nibble the bottom, gooey layer! YUM!!
Yes, it is Shellie, but I think the lemon extract adds a bit of lemony flavor to it, too.
LOVE this recipe. We omit the lemon juice and add chopped pecans. The pecans float to the top while baking! My favorite “pecan pie”!
Brown sugar pie?? That just sounds so good to me! 🙂 I am definitely trying this recipe! 🙂
