Old Fashioned Custard Pie

Teresa Ambra
Old Fashioned Custard Pie is a winner. This delicious pie is so simple and can be whipped up in no time. It's a light, airy pie that's makes a great dessert any time, but it's also a great treat for holiday baking. My kid's always loved this pie for dessert because it wasn't overly sweet. Serve plain or with whipped topping and fruit. Either way it's a culinary delight.

Notes

NOTE: Coconut pie is made by adding 2 cups coconut and using only 2 eggs.
 
NOTE: I’ve never been able to get this to cook in less than 45 minutes. Because I didn’t want the crust to burn I reduced the temperature to 300° and cooked this pie over an hour. I tented the pie with foil after 30 minutes to avoid browning the crust.
