A pound of patience you must find, mix well with loving words so kind. Drop 2 pounds of helpful deeds and thoughts of other peoples needs. A pack of smiles ot make the crust, then stir and bake you must.
And now I ask that you must try the recipe of this sunshine pie
I found this in an Amish cookbook. It was listed under as author unknown, but I thought it was a good recipe to have around.

APPLE PIE
Pre-heat 375
6 c. of peeled, cored and sliced apples ( I preffer Granny Smith)
2 tsp. to 1 TBLSP of lemon juice (this keeps your apples from turning brown, but how much you use depends on their sweetness)
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 TBLSP flour
1/8 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 cup dried cranberries or chopped dried cherries (optional)
I use a pre-made frozen deep dish pie crust, but use what crust you like. Just make sure it makes a 9" pie crust.
In a large bowl, toss apples, juice, sugar and vanilla and dried fruit if using. In small bowl stir flour,salt and spices. Add flour mix to fruit. Stir to coat. Pour into pie shell. You can use a second crust, remember to vent it, or use the crumb topping below. Cover the edges of the crust with foil.
Bake 25 minutes, the remove foil and bake for 25 minutes more. Cool on rack. Our favorite way to serve is with a nice sharp cheddar cheese.
CRUMB TOPPING
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
3 TBLSP butter, cold
pinch of salt
Mix flour, salt and sugar. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter. When it looks like crumbs, sprinkle on top of pie before baking.
this one is my "everyday" choco cake. it has no eggs or butter, so it's great for vegans.QUICK CHOCOLATE EGGLESS CAKE
1-1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup cold water
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. vinegar
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Spray a small baking pan (8x12) with vegetable spray or Baker's Joy.
Combine dry ingredients directly in the pan. Mix all the wet ingredients
In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients leaving out the vinegar until the final step.
Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring together in pan until well combined. Stir in the vinegar rapidly and immediately place pan into preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Optional: You can stir in 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips just before baking to make a richer cake with melted chocolate bits or swirls.

This makes a 10" pie, but my 9" deep dish pie pan worked well.
2 TBLSP butter
1/2 c onion (if you don't like onion, use 1 tsp. minced garlic and use 3 stalks of celery)
1 c. carrots, peeled and diced
1/4 c. cabbage or 1 c. diced water chestnuts
2 stalks of thinly sliced celery
1 c. potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 c. green beans and red bell pepper or 1/2 c. peas and corn
1 c. milk
1/2 c. flour
2 c. vegetable broth
1 tsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. Thyme
1/4 tsp. sage
salt and pepper to taste.
Pre heat oven to 350.
Make your favorite double crust pie recipe and have the bottom crust in the pan.
In a frying pan set on medium heat, melt the butter and and sautee onions until translucent. Then add the other veggies. Cook until tender. Reduce heat to low and sprinkle on flour. Mix broth and milk together in a cup, then add spices and soy sauce. Pour into pan, cooking until thickened. Let cool 15 minutes.
Carefully pour into pie pan. Spread evenly. Top with second crust. Vent.
Bake 30-40 minutes.

This recipe is geared for a 10" pie pan, but I only have 9". I had leftover filling and whipped cream. I had a small give away pie pan, so I just used the left over dough and made a small pie for my grand ma (minus the whipped cream. She doesn't like that. It was really good on on some brownie cookies....) If you have left over filling, just fridge it. It is just pudding after all.
1 pre-baked pie shell
4 c. milk SCALDED
3/4 c. cornstarch
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten
4 c. whipped cream
2 TBLSP. butter
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. shredded coconut
1/2 tsp. coconut extract (I actually used 1 tsp. and we all felt it could be stronger. Start with 1/2 and add by 1/4 tsp. if you are not a strong coconut fan)
Scald your milk carefully. In a separate bowl, combine your salt, sugar and cornstarch. Carefully pour your milk over the mixture and stir gently. Pour back into your pan and boil mixture for 2 minutes on medium heat, stirring CONSTANTLY.
In small bowl, beat eggs, then add a small amount of hot mixture to eggs to temper. Add eggs back to pan and return to heat, and boil 2 minutes until slightly thickened. DO NOT CURDLE!
Take off heat and add butter and vanilla. Stir until smooth. Place plastic wrap directly onto pudding (you don't want a skin to form) and chill at least 1 hour. When chilled, remove wrap and stir in coconut extract and 1/2 cup of the shredded coconut (I used the whole cup and 1/2c for the topping.)
Spoon filling into pie shell. Spread evenly. Top with whipped cream and remaining coconut. (I toasted mine.) Keep in fridge.

Fudge Brownie Pie1 9-inch Deep Dish Pastry Shell, unbaked
1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup Butter
1 14-ounce can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup Biscuit Baking Mix
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 cup Nuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Bake pastry shell 10 minutes; remove from oven. Reduce
oven temperature to 325F degrees. In saucepan, over low heat, melt chips with butter.
In large mixer bowl, beat chocolate mixture with remaining ingredients except nuts
until smooth. Add nuts. Pour into prepared pastry shell. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or

Vodka Pie Crust2 1/2 cups (12 1/2 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons sugar
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 cup cold vegetable shortening, cut into 4 pieces
1/4 cup cold vodka
1/4 cup cold water
1. Process 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, and sugar in food processor until combined, about 2 one-second pulses. Add butter and shortening and process until homogeneous dough just starts to collect in uneven clumps, about 15 seconds (dough will resemble cottage cheese curds and there should be no uncoated flour). Scrape bowl with rubber spatula and redistribute dough evenly around processor blade. Add remaining cup flour and pulse until mixture is evenly distributed around bowl and mass of dough has been
broken up, 4 to 6 quick pulses. Empty mixture into medium bowl.
2. Sprinkle vodka and water over mixture. With rubber spatula, use folding motion to mix, pressing down on dough until dough is slightly tacky and sticks together.
Divide dough into two even balls and flatten each into 4-inch disk. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 45 minutes or up to 2 days.
Notes: I keep my Vodka in the freezer

I know! I made it for my dad's birthday and he loved it! I forgot to put the butter in though so I had to shave it on top, which worked just as well.

At one point the doctor thought I might be lactose intolerant (fortunately I wasn't). At that time I realized how much cheese I ate. A day didn't go by that I didn't have any cheese of some kind.
Mod
By the way, do any of you serve sharp cheddar with your apple pie? We do in my family.
Kim wrote: "AMISH BROWN SUGAR PIE.."
This recipe confuses me. I don't see what hold the filling together. How does it set? Is it like a custard?
It sounds good.
Mod
Oh! Thanks, I saw one recipe where they added meringue to the top. Nothing like putting some sugar on top of some sugar!This sounds really good. I'm going to try it too.
Mod
It sounds a lot like pecan pie without the pecans?
Mod
LOL-I don't know any of those pies. I will try it this weekend. TGIF!

Oatmeal Pie
Preheat: 325
1 9” unbaked pie shell
½ c salted butter, softened
2 eggs
¾ c. DARK brown sugar
¼ tsp. vanilla
¾ c. DARK Karo syrup
1 c. QUICK COOK oats (1 minute oats)
In large bowl cream butter,sugar,eggs,and vanilla. Stir in Karo and oats. Will be uniform brown color and stiff. Pour into shell and bake 1 hour or until clean toothpick test.
Good for 10 days.
Serves 6-8
1 9" pie shell, par-baked* (don't bake all the way)
1 c. brown sugar, packed
3 Tblsp. flour
dash of salt (about 1/8 tsp.)
1 12 oz. can EVAPORATED milk
2 1/2 tsp. COLD butter, cubed
cinnamon to taste
Pre-heat oven to 350. In the par-baked pie shell, mix brown sugar,salt,and flour. Place pie on rack of oven, then pour the entire can of evaporated milk on top, dot with butter (it will sink, that's fine), and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Bake at 350 for 50 min. or until filling is bubbly.**
Cool completely before eating.
Keep leftovers in fridge.
*You can use any 9" pie dough you like, I usually use the frozen deep dish shells. Only bake it for 6-8 minutes, just to set it.
**If you are worried about any splash over, you can place a baking sheet under the pie, just make sure you pre-heat it with the oven.
I got this pie recipe from PBS years ago, and have made it quite a lot. The brown sugar makes a lovely solid bottom, and the milk layer is almost custard like.
