I literally cannot believe I have never shared this pie with you.
I had to go back and be sure because it is my MOST requested Pie recipe ever.
This pie has been made in our family since 1973 when my mom was in Home Ec club
with the owner of a popular restaurant called The Essenhaus. It was modeled
after our local Amish community and known for it's Homestyle Amish cooking and
baking, namely pies. This restaurant is now popular and well renowned all over
the country and a hot spot for tourists ever summer.
Yum
My mom was lucky enough to be given this recipe, which she passed to me and I now make it for all sorts of people. It is an especially GREAT Mother's Day treat just in case your urge to bake a pie is firing up! I've been told it's even better than the restaurants but you be the judge.
What You'll Need
HAPPY TASTY TUESDAY FRIENDS!!

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups whipping cream (Unwhipped)
1 unbaked 9" pie shell
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Blend flour into melted butter, I like to use a large pyrex pourable mixing bowl for this. Add the brown sugar and mix thoroughly.

I did not use my own homemade crust on this for time saving but I do find the roll out pie crusts are the flakiest. I like to put my pie dish onto a cookie sheet when baking in case any pie mixture were to spill or run over.
The Perfect Pie!! YUM!
HAPPY TASTY TUESDAY FRIENDS!!

That looks good. I often used pre-made pie crusts too and I like to roll out the roll out ones just a bit more than they'd typically roll out from the package to make them feel and taste a bit more like homemade. Pinned.
ReplyDeleteI think I just gained back all the weight I have lost just looking at this pie! HA! It looks so good!
ReplyDeleteThis pie sound amazing and I love that it's been in your family dessert rotation since 1973....that means it has to be delicious! Also the minimal ingredients are just my style for baking desserts! Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
ReplyDeleteGirl, guess I need to go bake this pie for my company This looks delicious and so, so easy. It will be going in my recipe file as well. Bet a dollop of whipped cream would be good on it too. Another homerun!
ReplyDeleteSimple is best. Without having even tasted it I just know it's one for Dine With Nine. I've never heard of this pie. It sounds a bit like our treacle tart. Longing to make it for the grandkiddies. Hugs, my clever friend, x.
ReplyDeleteNot even kidding...my mouth is watering!!! Is it like a chess pie. Looks oh so delicious!!! I need to make this, but we'd just have to eat the whole thing...LOL!!! XO
ReplyDeleteLove the story behind your pie. I haven't had this pie in YEARS. Growing up in PA Dutch area, this was always at the diners and such, made by the local Amish ladies. Pinning!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy!! I love old fashioned goodies! Sierra~Beautifully Candid

So I live about 20 miles from the Essenhaus and we were talking about pies. I was saying how my very favorite pie is the Old Fashioned Cream pie at the Essenhais, but I’ve never seen it anywhere else. I was asked what’s in it and thought I’d look it up. And here you are!!! Thank you so much!!
