Indulge in the delightful Poor Man's Pecan Pie, a delectable treat that offers a symphony of flavors without breaking the bank. This pie is a testament to culinary creativity, using simple and affordable ingredients to replicate the rich, nutty flavor of a classic pecan pie. With its flaky crust, gooey filling, and crunchy topping, this dessert is sure to satisfy your sweet cravings.
The recipe features two variations: a traditional version and a gluten-free alternative. Both versions utilize pantry staples such as evaporated milk, sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and eggs to create a luscious filling. While the traditional recipe employs a classic pie crust made from flour, butter, and salt, the gluten-free variation offers a delectable almond flour crust, ensuring everyone can enjoy this delightful dessert.
For those seeking a decadent topping, the recipe provides an optional streusel crumble, a combination of flour, butter, sugar, and cinnamon that adds a delightful textural contrast to the creamy filling. Whether you prefer the traditional or gluten-free version, with or without the streusel crumble, this Poor Man's Pecan Pie is guaranteed to become a beloved family favorite.
GRANDMA'S POOR MAN'S PIE
This is an even simpler recipe that I grew up with (I've looked at the other recipes for Poor Man's Pie and Sugar Cream Pie - the other name for this type pie.) My grandmother's recipe was a 2-2/3-3 formula. It was called Poor Man's Pie because farmers always had the ingredients handy.

This is an awesome recipe that I got from my coworker. It can be modified in many ways, including for the slow cooker. It's a simple meal of things you often already have on hand that really sticks to the bones, and it can also be a fun way to use up some leftovers.
