This recipe comes to us from Elaine, part of our merchandising team. It’s a family recipe requested by one of our FB readers, Charlotte, who remembers it being served in a local cafe that one of Elaine’s relatives used to own. The recipe below is for a 9-inch pie shell, and at the end of this entry, you’ll see the conversions for an 8-inch pie shell. Like many of our Amish Country pies, it’s full of creamy goodness!
First, pre-bake/blind bake a pie crust for your pie. Because this pie isn’t baked, you must be sure to do the crust first!
