Jefferson Davis Pie image

Some people call this a Twice Baked Pie. This came out of a church cookbook down east in the outer banks area of North Carolina. The recipe calls for a meringue but when I made it I thought it would have been better without the meringue. I usually go straight by the recipe when I try it for the first time but those of you that...

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 deep dish pie shell
1/2 c margarine, softened
2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
4 egg yolks
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 c cream
1/2 c chopped dates
1/2 c raisins
1/2 c chopped pecans (or walnuts)

Steps:

  • 1. Bake pie shell to a golden brown and cool completely.
  • 2. Cream together the margarine and brown sugar. Beat in the egg yolks (use the whites for meringue if using) and mix well.
  • 3. Combine the flour and spices then add to pie mixture. Stir in the cream, dates, raisins and nuts.
  • 4. Fill the baked pie shell and bake at 325 until the pie is set, which may take approximately 30 minutes. If using meringue, place plastic wrap directly on pie mixture to keep warm while making meringue. This prevents a runny film between pie and meringue. Hint: I do this on all my custard-type pies that I top with meringue.
  • 5. (((( The next time I make this pie, I will not use meringue on top. It is very good without the meringue ))))

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This pie was a disaster. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.

This pie is a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the filling.

This is the best sweet potato pie I've ever had. The filling is perfectly spiced and the crust is flaky and buttery.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown evenly, but overall this pie was a success. The filling was delicious and the crust was flaky.
