Pie Supreme
A rich, nutty pecan pie with a sweet date and syrup filling, perfect for holiday gatherings or dessert lovers seeking a decadent treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix eggs, sugar, Karo syrup, nuts, dates, flour, butter, and vanilla well.
- Pour the mixture into an unbaked pie shell.
- Bake at 350°F until the center no longer shakes, about 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using toasted nuts or mixing in some chocolate chips. If you're short on Karo syrup, a mix of honey and corn syrup can be a good substitute. Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing. If the pie browns too quickly, cover it lightly with foil during baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Pie Supreme warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delicious contrast. It also pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. For a festive touch, consider serving it alongside Walnut Crescents Cookies for a delightful dessert table.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a microwave-safe dish and warm for about 15 to 20 seconds, or until just heated through. This pie can also be enjoyed cold straight from the fridge.
