Derby Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Pie Crust:

1 pre-made pie crust (or you can make your own favorite recipe)

For the Filling:

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1/2 cup melted butter

1 cup chopped pecans

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Optional: 2 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon (for authentic flavor)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the Pie Crust:

Roll out the pie crust and gently fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges as desired.

Mix the Filling:

In a large bowl, mix the sugar and flour.

Stir in the eggs and melted butter until well combined.

Add the chopped pecans, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and bourbon if using. Stir until everything is well incorporated.

Fill the Pie Crust:

Pour the filling into the unbaked pie shell, spreading it out evenly.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly golden.

Cool and Serve:

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Serve warm or at room temperature, possibly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Derby Pie is perfect for celebrations, particularly around the time of the Kentucky Derby, or any occasion where a decadent, nutty, and chocolatey dessert is desired.
