Ingredients

1- 9 homemade or store bought pie crush
1/2 c white sugar to pour in iron skillet
1/2-3/4 c sugar, to taste
1/3 c flour
3 eggs, separated
2 c milk 2%, whole or canned will work 1% not so much
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp butter
EGG WHITES
3 egg whites
1/4 c sugar
1/8 tsp cream of tarter
a splash vanilla

Steps:

1. Pour 1/2 cup sugar in iron skillet and turn on low heat. DO NOT STIR, You will be tempted to turn the heat up or stir the sugar but be patient. You can flick the unmelted sugar into the melted sugar so it will melt. It is worth the wait. You want the sugar to be a rich caramel color if it gets too dark it is burned and you will need to start again. If you use the burned sugar your pie will taste like burned sugar.
2. While sugar in the skillet is melting... Custard :Add sugar and flour and 1 cup of milk to sauce pan, mix well so there are no lumps add the other cup of milk then the egg yolks. Mix well and then turn on to med heat. Bring to a boil stirring frequently. If the sugar in the skillet isn't melted yet, take this off the stove. TIP: When pouring the melted sugar into the custard they should be close to the same temperature.
3. When sugar is melted... When all the sugar is melted pour it into the custard mix and stir until well blended. Add vanilla and butter and blend in. Pour into your prepared pie crust
4. During all this you need to find time to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. While pie is still warm mound the meringue Spread the meringue to the edge of the crust. Fluff the meringue after the pie is covered and bake in a 400 degree oven until lightly brown or desired color.

OLD FASHIONED CARAMEL PIE

Old Fashioned Caramel Pie image

This pie is made mostly the old fashioned way. I caramelize the sugar in an iron skillet, but I make the rest of the filling in the microwave. My mom taught me to make this. She just dumps the ingredients in, though, so I had to make her let me measure before she "dumped" so I could write down the recipe. This recipe sounds long and involved, but is really easy. I do it from memory now. My kids won't even try caramel pie from a restaurant. They say they can tell by looking at restaurant caramel pies that they won't be as good!

Time 30m

Yield 2 pies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 (9 inch) pie crusts, baked
1 2/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 cups milk
6 extra large eggs, separated
1/2 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional)
3/4 cup sugar

Steps:

Leave oven on from baking pie shells. Whisk together the 1-2/3 cups sugar and cornstarch in a large (at least 2 qt.) microwaveable bowl until there are no more lumps from the cornstarch. Pour the milk into the sugar mixture and whisk together until smooth. Add the butter to the top of the mixture.
Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Whisk thoroughly. Microwave for 3 more minutes, whisk again. Have the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Beat them slightly. Add a tablespoon full of the hot mixture at a time to the egg yolks, stirring well after each addition. Do this until the yolk mixture is warm. (This will keep it from getting lumpy.) Then add the yolk mixture to the cooked mixture. Microwave in one minute increments, whisking each time, until the mixture is of pudding consistency. Whisk in the vanilla. Set aside.
Put the 2/3 cup sugar into a small iron skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, on high until brown and bubbling. It will look like it's going to boil over. Pour IMMEDIATELY into cooked filling and whisk thoroughly. Divide between the 2 pie shells.
Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar (if using) until foamy and slightly holding shape. Turn beaters on low speed. Add the 3/4 cup sugar. After sugar is mixed in, turn beaters on high again. Beat until meringue is hard to shake off a spoon (or it stays on beater when you turn off mixer and pull beaters out of bowl). Spread meringue onto filling all the way to the edges.
Bake about 10 minutes or until brown. Watch closely. Turn off oven, open oven door slightly, and let pies cool in oven for 1 hour. Let pies cool completely on counter. Spray plastic wrap with Pam, cover pies and refrigerate.
