Fact: I prefer brown sugar over white sugar. I've been known to dig into a bag of brown sugar with a spoon, but I can't even imagine doing such an act with white sugar. For this reason, I find it a great tragedy that so much of the world has never tasted brown sugar pie.
This is a creation intended for people possessing a powerful sweet tooth. Folks who utter sentences like "It's just so cloyingly sweet!" and "Those made my teeth hurt!" need not apply. Essentially, what you'll find with this pie is a soft, creamy, custardy filling replete with rich brown sugar flavor.
As my grandma (the source and frequent baker of this recipe) can attest, the appearance of the pie that comes out of the oven isn't always predictable. Sometimes it can be runny, while other times it sets up just perfectly. Sometimes there are pock-marks along the surface, while other times it's completely crater-less.
Regardless of how it looks, though, one thing remains constant—the flavor. A thin thick slice of this sweet treat is a welcome and fitting conclusion to any meal.
As this recipe has been handed down from my dearest grandmother and definitely counts as a family favorite, I'm sending it along to Lynda of Lynda's Recipe Box for the "Family Recipes: Memories of Family, Food and Fun" event.
Brown. Sugar. Pie.
(a recipe from Granny Frannie!)
3 cups brown sugar, light or dark, tightly packed
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup margarine or butter, melted and slightly cooled
3 eggs, beaten well
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
2 regular 9-inch pie crusts or 1 deep-dish pie crust, unbaked
Prepare the pie crusts per package instructions, or make up your own favorite dough.
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and salt. Be sure to break up any clumps of brown sugar. In a smaller bowl, mix together the melted margarine, beaten eggs, vanilla, and milk; beat well. Add this wet mixture to the brown sugar mixture and blend very well with a handheld mixer. Pour into the pie crust(s) and bake at 350F for about 30 minutes for a regular crust, 60-70 minutes for a deep-dish crust, or until set (just a wee bit wobbly) in the middle. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and yours!

It *looks* delicious, but I'm one of those folks that think some things are too sweet.
BTW, you should read my post tomorrow about molasses.... given your taste for brown sugar, you might find it interesting :)

I am just the same Grace, I try to make every recipe possible a brown sugar recipe rather than the white.
I for sure would not complain at the sweetness because of the simple fact that it is brown sugar and not white, lovely.
This looks like such a delicious treat, lucky you having your grandma bake this for you! - December 22, 2009 at 3:00 PM

I'm afraid I fall into that category of folks who have not only never had this pie, but have never even heard of this pie. I feel like I'm missing out.
I also hate to admit that just today I ate something and said it was so sweet it made my teeth hurt!! LOL So based on that, Grace, I have a hunch this yummy looking pie is not for me? : ) - December 22, 2009 at 3:30 PM

Brown sugar pie sounds amazing! A timely recipe for me as we've been snowed in since last Saturday when I've discovered I was completely out of white sugar. But you know what I didn't really miss it and used brown sugar or agave in all the recipes instead.

Hi Grace, I'm so pleased to see this common affection for brown sugar coming out in everyone! As my rendition of your impossible coconut pie attests, I'm all in favour of trying out molasses rich sugars in place of white sugar. The end texture is always different than one white sugar creates, but even this is usually better, I think. Always more chewy... and who doesn't love chewy! This pie looks insanely good. I'll add it to my list of Christmas Day activities!

- Marianne Sanders said...
I'm going to try this using DARK brown sugar - I REALLY love brown sugar - I will eat it with a spoon just like you do.... I am also going to let the filling mix sit for about an hour. Doing so allows the sugar to go into solution rather than simply be in suspension (it's chemical but it means the sugar really bonds with the other ingredients.) The advantage here is that it carmelizes more when it bakes, giving it an even more extra-special flavor!

I passed this recipe to my sister, as I do all dessert recipes. One pie seemed to set up ok but was still a little runny in the center, the other is completely runny so it's in the fridge. However, the pie is delicious. We are from the south, south GA, and have never heard of a Brown Sugar Pie. We may have to tweak the recipe next time to make sure they set properly but it's definitely a keeper.

Hi Grace, I hope you're still responding to comments. I tried your recipe last night and it never set. I had a homemade regular pie crust, so I cooked it 30 minutes. Like a waterbed in there, though the top was nice and caramelized. I decided to up the oven to 375 and put foil over the top, cooked it another 40 minutes. Same deal, but it was mostly the inner circle that was still runny. We put it in the freezer for two hours after it cooled and it helped, but quickly started to "melt" and get runny again.
Any suggestions?? Thanks! - May 17, 2016 at 11:33 AM
- Rain said...
...forgot to mention, I followed the recipe except that I used unsalted butter instead of margarine.
- May 17, 2016 at 11:35 AM

I just wonder, why do you publish comments with questions in them if you don't answer them? I guess I'll have to try a different recipe, I was hoping for some advice on yours.
- May 23, 2016 at 3:27 PM
- grace said...
@Rain: I'm so sorry that happened! I would suggest adding just a bit more flour, maybe another tablespoon. Ovens vary so much, as do eggs. I have used margarine before with success, so I don't think that's the problem. I think a little more thickener will help immensely, and I surely hope it does!

BOSTON (AP) — Lawyers for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev asked a judge Wednesday to lift restrictions placed on him in prison, arguing that the conditions are overly harsh, have left him nearly totally isolated and are impairing their ability to defend him.
Tsarnaev's lawyers said in a motion filed in court that he has been confined to his cell except for visits from them and has "very limited access" to a small outdoor enclosure.
Tsarnaev, 20, is accused of building and planting bombs near the finish line of the April 15 marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 260. Authorities say he and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, ethnic Chechens from Russia who emigrated to the United States as children, planned and carried out the attack to retaliate against the U.S. for its involvement in Muslim countries.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed four days after the marathon following a gun battle with police. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found wounded and hiding in a boat in a backyard in Watertown. Authorities said he had scrawled anti-American messages on the inside of the boat, including "The U.S. Government is killing our innocent civilians" and "We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all."
In their motion, Tsarnaev's lawyers said "Special Administrative Measures" were imposed on their client beginning in August, at the request of U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz and the approval of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
"SAMs," as they are known, are used in terrorism cases and other high-profile cases when authorities allege there is "substantial risk" that a defendant's communications or contacts with people "could result in death or serious bodily injury" to others. The special restrictions were placed on shoe bomb suspect Richard Reid, "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh and other terror suspects.
The measures restrict access to the mail, the media, the telephone and visitors.
Tsarnaev's lawyers say prosecutors have presented no evidence that the special restrictions are needed in Tsarnaev's case.
"The government has not alleged that Mr. Tsarnaev has done or said anything since his arrest to commit violence, incite violence, or engage in communications that pose a security threat," his lawyers argued in the filing.
They also said the special measures limit Tsarnaev's interaction with people who are helping the defense and restrict the communications and other activities of the defense team.
A spokeswoman for Ortiz did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
In a memo outlining the factual basis for the restrictions, prosecutors said Tsarnaev "reaffirmed his commitment to jihad and expressed hope that his actions would inspire others to engage in violent jihad" while he was being interviewed by the FBI after he was captured.
"There is no indication that Tsarnaev's intentions have changed since then," prosecutors said in the memo, which was included in the defense motion.
The government also notes that Tsarnaev has gained "widespread notoriety" since his arrest and has received nearly 1,000 pieces of unsolicited mail.
His lawyers said Tsarnaev has not responded to any of the mail, which they said is not "jihadist" in nature, but instead consists almost entirely of letters and cards from people "who believe he is innocent and people urging him to repent and convert to Christianity."
The motion was submitted by federal public defenders Miriam Conrad, William Fick and Timothy Watkins, and San Diego attorney Judge Clarke, a death penalty specialist. Conrad declined to comment on the filing.
Tsarnaev's lawyers argue that the special measures allow them to share information they obtain from Tsarnaev among themselves by phone or in person for the purpose of preparing his defense, but prohibit them from sharing that information by mail "under any circumstances for any purpose."
"It is ... completely impractical for members of the defense team to keep track of the means by which they have learned individual pieces of information from Mr. Tsarnaev," they argue.
