Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients |
celebrating her birthday today.
Brian: I feel like we say this a lot, but this was a pretty straight forward pie to make. I have to admit, I had no idea how many pies one could make utilizing a microwave, and this pie falls in that category. Now that Angie has mastered the crust, there are a number of pies you can make simply by combining the ingredients, and heating them up until they thicken. You are basically adding a pudding-like filling to the crust.
Yes! A microwave recipe. |
So good... |
Angie: I had to take a taste of the filling before putting the bowl in the sink, and I knew that this was going to be a good day. The flavor was great, and then we just needed to endure the long wait until it cooled and set up in the refrigerator. I would advise adding a little bit of cool whip to the pie as a topper, and it was delicious.
Pie of the Week Recipients
The cherry pie went to Amy and Jeff Anders. Amy and I met when our kids were in elementary school. Amy has cardiomyopathy and has been through several frightening surgeries. She is home recovering from her last surgery now. She had mentioned, while in the hospital, that she loved cherry pie. I couldn't wait for her to get home so we could take one to her!

Our second recipient is Laurie. I met her through a good friend and she just so happens to be married to a high school classmate of Brian's. Laurie was one of the first people to respond when Brian and I started blogging and sent recipes to us. Her recipe is my favorite kind of recipe, one passed down through generations from her grandmother. The fact that it's her birthday was an added bonus!!

Recipe
2 already baked pie shells
6T Butter
4T Flour
2 C of milk (we used half and half)
2 C of brown sugar
2 eggs
2 t vanilla
1 tub of whipped topping
Mix butter, flour, brown sugar together in a microwave safe bowl. Beat eggs and milk and add to mixture. Whisk all together. You can microwave it or use a double boiler but cook it until it gets thicker than a pudding consistency If you use a microwave, be sure to stir each minute. We made a double batch and microwaved for a total of 18 minutes. Microwaves vary so yours may take more or less time. Once it has thickened, add the vanilla and stir. Pour the filling into already baked crust and let cool in fridge for several hours. Once it is completely cool you can top with whipped topping and drizzle lightly with caramel ice cream topping.
