Kentucky stack pie. image

Another of my English Grandmas. My mom asked me to make her one for her 91st birthday. This is a very old recipe dating back to colonial times. Transporting multiple pies to social functions and storage was a challenge . so they stacked. Upon cutting .. Cut thin slices. Its very rich and makes Paula Dean seem like a butter...

Number Of Ingredients 9

4-5 pie shells
5 eggs
1 egg yolk
3 c sugar
1 1/2 c melted buttery
1 c cream
ICING
2 c brown sugar
1 c cream

Steps:

  • 1. Beat eggs well and cream in sugar beat well

  • 4. Bake 350° about 45 minutes or until It is bubbly and almost set
  • 5. Cool pies in pans. Once fully cooled remove from pans . it may take a knife around edges. I admit store bought is easier . don't worry about broken edges they get trimmed
  • 6. Place fullest pie on bottom and stack others on top
  • 7. Trim pie crust edges off.
  • 8. Icing Cook 2 cups brown sugar and cream until soft ball stage. It will be brown and bubbly. A bit on a spoon when dunked in cold water will form a blob

  • 10. Ice the stacked pies. If icing hardens while icing mix in a wee bit of cream in very small amount.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I loved this pie. The coconut flavor is very subtle.

I had some trouble finding sourwood honey, but I used regular honey instead and it turned out fine.
