Sweet and creamy, this rich Amish pie may have a slightly softer texture than the typical custard pies you are used to. It also has a bit of a unique flavor, which almost tastes like brown sugar.

AMISH SUGAR CREAM PIE



Amish Sugar Cream Pie image

This recipe originated in the Old World, and it's a favorite of many Amish families. The recipe has undergone changes over the years so that it largely remains a "by scratch" recipe but still incorporates staple baking products that are commonly stocked in U.S grocery stores. It's creamy, smooth and delicious, and you'll easily...

Provided by Vickie Parks

Categories     Pies

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole cream (i.e., heavy cream or whipping cream)
2 cups half & half
3 large egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 round Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 dash salt (important - don't omit)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 (9-inch) pie shell, unbaked
a few tsp white sugar, cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • 2. In a medium size saucepan, heat the cream and half & half together until lightly scalded (it should coat the back of a spoon but should NOT reach a boil). Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • 3. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Add the white sugar, and beat until well blended. Add the brown sugar, flour, salt and vanilla, and beat well.
  • 4. Gradually whisk the warmed cream mixture to the egg white mixture, and mix well.
  • 5. Pour the creamy pie batter into the unbaked pie shell. (If you like, you can sprinkle a light dusting of sugar, cinnamon or nutmeg on the surface - it's purely optional.) Place pie pan in bottom rack of oven, and bake about 20 to 30 minutes or until set.

Tips:

  • Use a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate for this recipe.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can cut the butter into the flour using two forks.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking too much in the oven.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to roll it out evenly. This will help ensure that the pie crust is evenly cooked.
  • Dock the bottom of the pie crust with a fork. This will help prevent the crust from bubbling up in the oven.
  • Bake the pie crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set.

Conclusion:

Amish Sugar Cream Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make pie that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, custard-like filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying dessert, give this Amish Sugar Cream Pie a try!
