Butterscotch Meringue Pie image

This recipe has been in my family as far as I know since 1900. The year my Grandmother was married. All the ingredients back then had no chemicals mixed in. BUT, it is still my #1 favorite. Just don't burn the custard in the process. YUK.

I'm not a big fan of meringue, but I loved this pie! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was perfect.

I had some trouble getting the pie crust to brown evenly, but the pie still tasted good.

The meringue was a bit too runny for my liking, but the filling was delicious.

Easy to make and delicious! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it still turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pie turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more vanilla extract to the filling.
