Some blogging friends and I got to chatting about pie recipes one day. Remember the movie “Waitress?”… all the pies with the funny names that the main character would bake up as she daydreamed of a life without her deadbeat husband? If you haven’t ever seen this movie, you simply must see it- it’s pretty hilarious. All of the pies in the movie look delicious, so I decided to bake one of the pies from movie. I’m calling my pie recipe Waitress Pie, but in the movie it’s called I Can’t Have No Affair Because It’s Wrong and I Don’t Want Earl to Kill Me Pie!
How do you make Waitress Pie?
It starts with a classic graham cracker crust that is filled with a custard base and baked until firm.
A layer of toasted meringue tops off this Waitress Pie. The way that it’s made, part of the thick layer of graham cracker crust migrates a bit into the custard layer as it’s baked.
How does Waitress Pie taste?
Delicious! It’s your basic custard pie that takes on a graham cracker flavor of sorts with meringue on top. It’s different than your classic custard pie since the graham cracker crust becomes part of the custard. If you’re interested in more custard pie recipes, you might also enjoy my Lemon Blueberry Custard Pie or this Buttermilk Pie. Sugar Cream Pie, adsfasdf and Pear Custard Pie are also delicious custard pie recipes!
