Kentucky Derby Day Pie (my version)


If you were coming to my house this afternoon to watch the Derby with us, this is what I would be making. It isn't the traditional "Derby Pie" but certainly just as good.

Kentucky Derby Day Pie (my version - really a chocolate chip pie)

1 frozen 9-inch deep-dish pie shell, thawed completely
2 eggs
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
3/4 c. (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened
1 c. chocolate chips (calls for semi-sweet but I usually use milk chocolate)
1 c. chopped pecans
Whipped cream or ice cream

Preheat oven to 325. Beat eggs in large mixing bowl on high speed until foamy. Beat in flour, sugar and brown sugar. Beat in butter. Stir in morsels and nuts. Pour into pie shell.

Bake for 55-60 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
