A Thanksgiving dinner table can be a sight to behold. For foodies and others who love the array of comfort foods on display come the fourth Thursday in November, Thanksgiving is a day to look forward to.

While a mouthwatering turkey and sides like mashed potatoes and stuffing garner the bulk of the attention, the dessert table also can be a tempting place to direct one's eyes. Although no dessert is off limits on Thanksgiving, pie is a particularly popular option. Those planning to make a dessert may consider the following recipe for pecan pie courtesy of Lines+Angles.

Pecan Pie

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients:

1 9-inch unbaked, frozen deep dish pie shell, thawed

1 1/2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped

3 eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon molasses

2 tablespoons butter, melted

2 tablespoons flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Spread pecans along the bottom of the prepared pie shell.

3. In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients and pour over pecans. The pecans will rise to the surface of the pie.

4. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes until the filling has set. Pie is done when the center reaches 200 degrees. When lightly tapped, pie center should spring back. Remove the pie from the oven, and let it cool on a wire rack for at least two hours.
