Move Over Pumpkin For Another Pie Favorite

A well-rounded dessert menu is just as crucial to Thanksgiving as the turkey. One variety of pie just won't do. Try this corn syrup-free version of everyone's
While pumpkin pie is the standard Thanksgiving dessert, pecan pie is no stranger to the feast. In fact, some people prefer this crunchy indulgence over the creamy pumpkin variety. To be sure that all of your guests leave the Thanksgiving meal satisfied, it is wise to include both pie options.

This recipe from AllRecipes.com doesn’t include any corn syrup, so if you are trying to avoid the sticky stuff and still want a pecan pie, this version may be worth a try.
