2 DEEP DISH DERBY PIES......Diane's, Nell's, Meg's Derby Pies.

 2 DEEP DISH PIE SHELLS


1 1/2 cups sugar
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups White Karo Syrup
1 1/2 Tablespoons flour
Beat above until creamy

Then beat in 1 1/2 sticks melted and COOLED unsalted butter

Then stir in:
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
3/4 cup chocolate chips—semi-sweet-Hershey’s
1 1/2 Teaspoons vanilla

Bake 350 for 40-50 minutes……watch crusts…if they begin to brown too quickly, cover with tinfoil..
(after inserting toothpicks to prevent tinfoil from sticking to tops of pies)…Or make a covering with foil that is a circle that covers JUST the crusts.

Pies are done when newly inserted toothpicks come out clean.

This makes 2 pies… I use the Pillsbury pie crusts and do not spray or grease the pie plates.
My granddaughter, Murphy, makes her own crusts from scratch and they are delicious.
