Amish Vanilla Pie
Excellent Pie!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
Boiled ingredients:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 cup water
Crumb Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt or about 1/8 teaspoon
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 9 inch pie shell
Instructions
If Using Deep Dish Crust See Note section!
- Beat the egg (I just beat with a fork until smooth) and mix well with brown sugar, flour, corn syrup, vanilla and water. Bring to a boil in a pot on top of the stove. Remove pot as soon as it starts boiling and set aside. Let mixture cool.
Crumb Instructions:
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Cut in the softened butter until mixture is like coarse crumbs. Pour the cooled, boiled ingredients into your pie shell and spread the crumb topping over the top. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 45 minutes. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Notes
If using a deep dish pie shell use 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup corn syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 eggs and 1 1/2 cups water. Everything else remains the same.
