butterscotch pie

Brown sugar tart

A pie with a filling made from butterscotch—a confection of brown sugar and butter cooked together, producing a rich, caramel-like flavor.

The filling is typically custard-based, baked in a pastry crust, and often topped with whipped cream or meringue: Grandma's butterscotch pie was the highlight of every Thanksgiving.
