FLAPPER PIE- GRANDMA'S



Flapper Pie- Grandma's image

No, My Grandma was not a flapper, far from it. But she was fascinated by the culture of the 1920's and the new wave of "liberated" women. She liked some of the music but she thought the dancing and short dresses (along with short haircuts for women) were scandalous. And the idea of women drinking alcohol... well, that was just...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

PIE SHELL:
1 graham cracker pie shell
PIE FILLING:
1/2 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp flour
2 c whole milk
2 large egg yolks-slightly beaten
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
TALL MERINGUE:
1/2 c water
1 c sugar
4 large egg whites
1 pinch salt
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. FILLING: Blend together in saucepan sugar, salt, cornstarch and flour. Gradually stir in milk and whisk until smooth. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and boils. Boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir a little bit of the hot mixture into egg yolks. Add yolk mixture to rest of hot mixture slowly, stirring to blend. Boil 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Blend in butter and vanilla. Cool 10 minutes then pour into graham cracker crumb crust. Cool completely before adding meringue.
  • 2. TALL MERINGUE: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine water and sugar in small saucepan. Bring to vigorous boil over medium-high heat. Once this syrup comes to rolling boil, cook 4 minutes (mixture will become slightly thickened and syrupy). Remove from heat and set aside while beating whites. With electric mixer, beat whites in large bowl at medium-low speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Add salt and cream of tartar and beat, gradually increasing speed to medium-high, until whites hold soft peaks, about 2 minutes. With mixer running, very slowly pour hot syrup into whites (avoid pouring syrup onto beater blades or it will splash). Add vanilla and beat until meringue has cooled and becomes very thick and shiny (5 to 9 minutes). Using rubber spatula, mound meringue over filling, making sure meringue touches edges of crust. Use spatula to create peaks all over meringue. Bake until peaks turn golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and cool to room temperature. Serve cold. Store any leftovers in refrigerator.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup white sugar
½ cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3 cups milk
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
2 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping the pie. Press the remaining crumb mixture in the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
  • Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat. In a non-plastic bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and vanilla. When the milk is hot but not boiling, slowly pour the milk in a steady stream into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the custard to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or a heat-proof spatula. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes over low heat until the custard has thickened. Pour the custard into the graham cracker crust.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Beat the egg whites until medium peaks form; add 2 tablespoons of sugar and beat until the meringue is stiff. Scoop out the meringue on top of the custard filling. Sprinkle the meringue with the reserved graham cracker crumbs.
  • Place the pie under the broiler and bake until the meringue starts to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 double graham wafers, rolled fine
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup melted margarine
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups milk
2 egg yolks (save whites for topping)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 egg whites
3 tablespoons icing sugar

Steps:

  • Mix all crust ingredients together.
  • Press into pie plate, reserving 1/4 of crumbs to sprinkle on top.
  • Combine filling ingredients in a pot.
  • Cook on medium heat until thick.
  • Spread on crust while hot.
  • Beat egg whites until stiff.
  • Beat in icing sugar.
  • Spread on top of filling.
  • Sprinkle with remaining crumbs.
  • Bake at 250 for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • To make the flapper pie crust, use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • When adding the water to the dough, do so one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • If you don't have time to make the flapper pie crust from scratch, you can use a store-bought pie crust. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
  • To make the flapper pie filling, start by cooking the bacon until it is crispy. Then, remove the bacon from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, cook the onions and celery until they are softened.
  • Once the onions and celery are softened, add the cooked bacon, chicken, and peas to the pan. Stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the soup, milk, and salt and pepper. Pour the soup mixture over the chicken mixture in the pan.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared pie crust. Top with the remaining pie crust and crimp the edges to seal.
  • Bake the flapper pie at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Conclusion:

Flapper pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust and creamy filling, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give flapper pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
