One of my favorite things in this world is peanut butter. I love and crave the stuff. There is always a jar of peanut butter on my cupboard shelf. This pie is so good. I think your family will love it.
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked according to package directions or if you make your own, it should be baked
3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter (could use creamy)
1 1/4 cups confectionery sugar
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 (12 fl. ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 eggs separated
1/2 cup regular sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
In a bowl, mix the sugar and peanut butter together using a fork until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Remove 1/2 cup crumbs and set aside. Spread the rest of the crumbs in the baked pie shell. Mix together 2 tablespoons margarine, evaporated milk, salt, the 3 egg yolks (keep the whites for the merinque), 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a pan. Cook on medium heat on top of the stove stirring constantly until thickens. (about 5 to 7 minutes). I remove as soon as it starts to thicken. (This will burn easily so watch it closely). Pour this over the crumb mixture in the pie shell. Beat the 3 egg whites until stiff and spread over the pie. Spread remaining crumbs on top of the meringue. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven about 20 minutes. (I usually turn the broiler on for a few seconds before removing the pie but watch it constantly or it will burn on top). Makes one pie. Enjoy!
Note: I have made this pie and put all the crumbs mixture in the pie and just put plain meringue on top and browned in oven. Both ways are good.

I’ve made a similar version for years. I use vanilla pudding mix and cool whip topping.
how do make the pudding mix & cool whip ,, do u make the pudding according to directions , spread on then put the cool whip so what do u omit when U do this?
DeeAnn, There is no pudding mix in this recipe. You must be asking about another recipe.
I was talking about Mary joe Hatton comment, she said She made similar peanut butter pie except she used vanilla pudding mix & cool whip. “…..that’s what comment I was talking about. Thank you…..

Lila Hammons Hoyle! Peanut Butter Pie!
I have been making P.B. pie for years and it is always a fav. Mine is a little different than yours and I use whipped cream to top the pie and smooth p.b. instead of crunchy. So good.
It looks so delicious! PB is also one of my favourite things
I want to print out only the recipe but it is printing out comments and I am wasting paper & ink.
Hi Carol, Once you click on print/pdf at the bottom of the actual recipe page, hold your mouse over the part you don’t want to print and it will become yellow and say, “click to delete”. You can delete the comments and any other text you don’t want to print.
I am confused, does the confectionery sugar go in the pie shell or the meringue? I have the pie shells all ready to go…. Help! I am stuck on silly!
You mix the confectionery sugar and peanut butter together and divide until like coarse crumbs. Take a cup of this and set aside. Put the rest in the pie shell.Bake your pie shell first, then put in the crumbs all but one cup.Cook the filling and put on top of the crumbs. Make the meringue and put on pie and sprinkle the rest of the crumbs on top of the meringue. Hope this helps.
Made this today ! Delicious !
I just made this. It looks delish Does it have to be refrigerated?
I usually put mine in a container like you would carry a pie somewhere and refrigerate.
This pie was so good. My husband loved it and completely devoured it. It is now on the list of holiday pies.
So happy your family enjoyed this pie!
