MICROWAVE VANILLA CREAM PIE & VARIATIONS
This is a breeze to make! We love cream pies but I have arthritis and a lot of times I don't feel like all the stirring it takes to make a cream pie the traditional way. This cuts out all of that! The taste is exactly the same, delicious! This recipe comes from an old Tappan O'keefe & Merrit Microwave Cooking Guide.

MICROWAVE SUGAR CREAM PIE
This recipe was the grand prize winner a few years ago in a recipe contest held by an area newspaper. I love sugar cream pie, but didn't have an easy recipe until I found this one. I used a store bought pie shell, and ended up with more filling than the shell would hold so we ate the leftover filling like pudding.

Tips:
- To make the pie crust, you can use a pre-made pie crust or make your own. If you are making your own, be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out.
- For the vanilla cream filling, be sure to use heavy cream and not milk. This will give the filling a richer flavor and texture.
- If you don't have vanilla extract, you can use vanilla bean paste or vanilla powder. Just be sure to adjust the amount you use according to the package directions.
- You can add other flavors to the pie filling, such as chocolate chips, fruit, or nuts.
- Be sure to chill the pie before serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.
