CANTALOUPE PIE ALA TEXAS AND PACIFIC
Recipe courtesy of: Dinner in the Diner - Great Railroad Recipes - T&P Railway was originally chartered by Congress in 1871 to establish rail service from Texas to San Diego. This pie was a signature dessert in their first class dining car. DH and I are avid railfans and his huge collection of models and memorabilia is all T&P badged. The original, ornate station in south Fort Worth was recently refurbished and sold as loft condominiums http://www.texasandpacificlofts.com - This has nothing to do with the recipe of course but is where we dream of living someday (after everyone else moves out and we have the whole building to ourselves, of course ;-)). I will make cantaloupe pies as I listen for the steam engines to come puffing up the tracks; a long wait for sure but hey, it is *my* dream!

[email protected]I've made this pie several times and it's always a winner. The filling is so creamy and flavorful, and the crust is flaky and buttery. It's the perfect pie for summer.

[email protected]This pie was absolutely delicious! I made it for a potluck and it was a huge hit. The cantaloupe filling was sweet and juicy, and the graham cracker crust was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this pie again.
