PIE CRUST
1 1/2 c crushed vanilla wafers (about 45 wafers)
1/4 c butter, melted (i used an addt'l tbsp.)
FILLING
2 Tbsp butter
1/3 c all purpose flour
2/3 c packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 c 2% milk
4 medium egg yolks
1/3 c creamy peanut butter
1 Tbsp dark rum (i used an extract)
3 medium bananas
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
GARNISH
whipped cream, caramel syrup and chopped nuts

Steps:

1. Combine the wafer crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
2. In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat.
3. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; then return mixture to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter, rum and vanilla. Slice bananas into the crust; pour filling over top.
4. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. Garnish as desired with whipped cream, caramel syrup and nuts. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. (This pie sets up quickly.)
5. Saving a slice for you! Coffee's brewing and your plate is waiting. hehe
