Best Flapper Pie Recipes

FLAPPER PIE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping the pie. Press the remaining crumb mixture in the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
• Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat. In a non-plastic bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and vanilla. When the milk is hot but not boiling, slowly pour the milk in a steady stream into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the custard to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or a heat-proof spatula. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes over low heat until the custard has thickened. Pour the custard into the graham cracker crust.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Beat the egg whites until medium peaks form; add 2 tablespoons of sugar and beat until the meringue is stiff. Scoop out the meringue on top of the custard filling. Sprinkle the meringue with the reserved graham cracker crumbs.
• Place the pie under the broiler and bake until the meringue starts to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

FLAPPER PIE I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix together graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/3 cup softened butter. Reserve 1/4 cup of the crumb mixture for topping the pie. Press remaining crumbs into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes.
• Mix 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, flour, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in milk gradually. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Cook 2 minutes more. Add a little of this hot mixture to beaten egg yolks, then stir yolks into hot mixture. Cook 1 minute while stirring.
• Remove pan from heat. In a steady stream, pour hot milk mixture into beaten egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return custard to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat; stir in 1 tablespoon butter and vanilla. Cool 15 minutes, and pour into crumb crust. Cool completely.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Slowly add 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff and glossy. Stir in almond extract. Spread meringue over filling, and against the edge of crust to seal. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs.
• Bake in preheated oven just until meringue is golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Allow pie to cool completely before serving.

FLAPPER PIE- GRANDMA'S

Steps:

• 1. FILLING: Blend together in saucepan sugar, salt, cornstarch and flour. Gradually stir in milk and whisk until smooth. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and boils. Boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir a little bit of the hot mixture into egg yolks. Add yolk mixture to rest of hot mixture slowly, stirring to blend. Boil 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Blend in butter and vanilla. Cool 10 minutes then pour into graham cracker crumb crust. Cool completely before adding meringue.
• 2. TALL MERINGUE: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine water and sugar in small saucepan. Bring to vigorous boil over medium-high heat. Once this syrup comes to rolling boil, cook 4 minutes (mixture will become slightly thickened and syrupy). Remove from heat and set aside while beating whites. With electric mixer, beat whites in large bowl at medium-low speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Add salt and cream of tartar and beat, gradually increasing speed to medium-high, until whites hold soft peaks, about 2 minutes. With mixer running, very slowly pour hot syrup into whites (avoid pouring syrup onto beater blades or it will splash). Add vanilla and beat until meringue has cooled and becomes very thick and shiny (5 to 9 minutes). Using rubber spatula, mound meringue over filling, making sure meringue touches edges of crust. Use spatula to create peaks all over meringue. Bake until peaks turn golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and cool to room temperature. Serve cold. Store any leftovers in refrigerator.
