How To Make flapper pie
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350ºF.
-
Step 2In a mixing bowl, combine all the crust ingredients (visit Club Foody for the recipe); reserve 1 Tbsp. of the mixture for later.
-
Step 3Press the remaining in the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch pie plate. Transfer to the fridge.
-
Step 4In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the filling ingredients and whisk well.
-
Step 5Bring the mixture to a boil and stirring constantly, cook until the mixture thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Step 6Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Step 7Meantime, make the meringue. (see the recipe on Club Foody)
-
Step 8To assemble… Pour the filling into the prepared crust and level it out with a spatula. Sprinkle cornstarch on top of the pudding to absorb any humidity.
-
Step 9Spread the meringue over the filling, sealing it to the edges of the crust with a spatula and make peaks. Sprinkle the remaining 1 Tbsp. graham crust on top.
-
Step 10Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown.
-
Step 11Remove from the heat and place the pie on a wire rack; let it cool for 1 hour at room temperature.
-
Step 12Transfer to the fridge, uncovered, for 3 hours. If you leave the pie in the fridge longer than 5 hours, cover it with foil.
