Cuisine: Amish
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie crust
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your pie bakes evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of flour. Whisk them together until they are well blended.
- In a separate bowl, crack 3 eggs and beat them lightly. Then add 1 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the eggs, mixing until fully combined.
- Gradually pour the egg and milk mixture into the bowl with the sugar and flour, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the mixture, stirring until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Once the filling is smooth and well combined, pour it into the unbaked pie crust, ensuring an even distribution.
- Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
- To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center of the pie; it should come out clean when the pie is fully baked.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious Amish Bob Andy Pie!
Tips
- • Use room temperature eggs and milk for a smoother, more consistent filling • Make sure to whisk your ingredients thoroughly to prevent lumpy texture • For extra richness, consider using whole milk • Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set properly • For a golden, flaky crust, brush the edges with an egg wash before baking • If the pie's edges brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra special touch • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days
