JEFFERSON DAVIS PIE



Jefferson Davis Pie image

Some people call this a Twice Baked Pie. This came out of a church cookbook down east in the outer banks area of North Carolina. The recipe calls for a meringue but when I made it I thought it would have been better without the meringue. I usually go straight by the recipe when I try it for the first time but those of you that...

Categories     Pies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 deep dish pie shell
1/2 c margarine, softened
2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
4 egg yolks
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 c cream
1/2 c chopped dates
1/2 c raisins
1/2 c chopped pecans (or walnuts)

Steps:

  • 1. Bake pie shell to a golden brown and cool completely.
  • 2. Cream together the margarine and brown sugar. Beat in the egg yolks (use the whites for meringue if using) and mix well.
  • 3. Combine the flour and spices then add to pie mixture. Stir in the cream, dates, raisins and nuts.
  • 4. Fill the baked pie shell and bake at 325 until the pie is set, which may take approximately 30 minutes. If using meringue, place plastic wrap directly on pie mixture to keep warm while making meringue. This prevents a runny film between pie and meringue. Hint: I do this on all my custard-type pies that I top with meringue.
  • 5. (((( The next time I make this pie, I will not use meringue on top. It is very good without the meringue ))))

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly until it resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a drinking glass to roll out the dough.
  • To prevent the crust from shrinking, chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the pie on a preheated baking sheet to ensure that the bottom crust cooks evenly.
  • If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
