Categories     Desserts     Pies     Vintage Pie Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup white sugar
½ cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3 cups milk
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
2 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping the pie. Press the remaining crumb mixture in the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
  • Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat. In a non-plastic bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and vanilla. When the milk is hot but not boiling, slowly pour the milk in a steady stream into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the custard to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or a heat-proof spatula. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes over low heat until the custard has thickened. Pour the custard into the graham cracker crust.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Beat the egg whites until medium peaks form; add 2 tablespoons of sugar and beat until the meringue is stiff. Scoop out the meringue on top of the custard filling. Sprinkle the meringue with the reserved graham cracker crumbs.
  • Place the pie under the broiler and bake until the meringue starts to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

Time 53m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
3 to 4 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup cold water
3 egg yolks, well beaten

2 packages instant lemon pudding
1 cup powdered sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
16 ounces whipped cream or dessert topping

Steps:

  • Pie Crust: Whisk flour with a fork while still in the bag or cannister. Gently spoon out flour into measuring cups. (This reduces flour by as much as 1/8 to 1/4 cup).
  • Then sift flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add shortening and cut into pea sized bits with pastry blender. Add cold water gradually until just dampened. Place on waxed paper and gather into ball from the outside corners. Press dough into a 6-inch pancake shape. Wrap with plastic wrap.
  • Chill at least 30 minutes and then roll out between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Remove 1 side of plastic wrap, lightly flour, if necessary, and place into a 9-inch clear glass deep dish pan.
  • Remove plastic wrap and flute edges. Prick bottom and sides with a fork. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Use extra pastry for cut-outs in the shapes of lemons, stars, etc. for decoration.
  • Bottom Layer: In saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Mix with wire whisk; blend in lemon juice and cold water; then add egg yolks and blend until smooth. Add butter and gradually stir in boiling water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; boil 2 minutes; remove from heat and add lemon extract, zest/peel, and food coloring. Partially cool for 30 minutes, and pour into the baked pie shell. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before adding second layer.
  • Second Layer: In a small bowl, cream sugar and cream cheese with spatula until smooth. Add milk and stir until well blended. Add pudding and beat with electric mixer for 2 minutes until thickened. Pour on bottom layer. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Top Layer: Cream together the sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the whipped dessert topping and spread on top of cooled lemon pudding. Garnish with extra pastry cutouts, citrus or mint leaves. Chill at least 4 hours before serving.

Categories     Desserts     Pies     No-Bake Pie Recipes     Chiffon Pie Recipes

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup hot cocoa mix
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup shortening, chilled
3 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 drop red food coloring
¼ cup finely chopped pecans
3 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup boiling water
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
¼ cup cold water
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon zest
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 egg whites
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
¼ cup shaved sweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • To make the chocolate crust, combine the flour, hot cocoa mix, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk, vanilla, and food coloring and toss with a fork until the flour mixture is moistened. Roll the crust out between two sheets of waxed paper and transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan. Trim or crimp the edges. Prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  • Bake the crust in the preheated oven until the crust is set and the edges have darkened slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on a rack. Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and set aside.
  • To make the filling, mix the cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup sugar together in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in the boiling water. Heat the mixture over high heat until the mixture boils. Reduce the heat and simmer until the filling is thick and clear, 8 to 10 minutes. Gradually whisk a portion of the hot filling into the beaten egg yolks. Return the yolk mixture to the saucepan and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in the rehydrated gelatin mixture and mix until dissolved. Blend in the butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice; remove from heat.
  • Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add the 3 tablespoons sugar, continuing to beat until medium-stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly.
  • Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/3 of the beaten egg whites (meringue) into the hot filling mixture. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining meringue, folding just until incorporated. Allow the mixture to cool for 25 minutes; the filling should mound from a spoon when dropped back into the bowl.
  • Whip the cream until stiff. Fold the whipped cream into the filling and gently spread the filling in the cooled baked pie shell. Sprinkle the pie with the chocolate shavings and refrigerate until serving.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Time 6h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium meyer lemons
2 cups sugar, divided, plus 1 tablespoon
4 large eggs, beaten
½ stick unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pie crust, formed into a disc and chilled
1 large egg yolk
¼ teaspoon water
lemon twist, for serving
powdered sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Zest and thinly slice the lemons into rounds, removing any seeds.
  • Add the lemon zest and slices and 2 cups (400 g) sugar to a large bowl. Stir to coat the lemon slices well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and macerate in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Add the beaten eggs, melted butter, flour, and salt to the lemon mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
  • On a lightly floured surface, divide the disc of pie dough in half. Working 1 portion at a time, form into a smaller disc and roll out into a circle about ⅛ inch (3mm) thick. Drape 1 dough round in a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Fill the pie dough with the lemon mixture, then top with the other dough round. Trim any excess dough around the edges, press the edges together and crimp to seal.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water until fully combined.
  • Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Cut 4 small decorative slits in the center of the pie to vent.
  • Place the pie dish on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crust begins to brown.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake the pie for 22-24 minutes more, or until the crust is shiny and deep golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool for 45-60 minutes before slicing and serving.

  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the perfect flapper pie crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour, butter, and shortening. The butter will add flavor, while the shortening will help keep the crust flaky.
  • When making the lemon filling, be sure to use fresh lemon juice and zest. This will give the pie a bright, citrusy flavor.
  • If you don't have any flaked coconut on hand, you can substitute chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • To make sure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

This lemon flapper pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy lemon filling, flaky crust, and coconut topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
