Amy'S Pie
Creamy, sweet custard filling with a buttery crust, perfect for a comforting dessert that appeals to all ages and pairs well with a cup of tea or coffee.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine melted butter, sugar, flour, condensed milk, egg yolks, and milk in a bowl.
- Mix until well blended.
- Pour the mixture into an unbaked pie shell.
- Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 45 minutes until set and lightly golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you don't have condensed milk, you can substitute it with a mixture of milk and sugar, simmered until thickened. Make sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly to avoid any lumps. If you want to add a twist, try incorporating a splash of vanilla extract or lemon zest for added depth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slices of Amy's Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Sour Cream Cucumber Salad for a refreshing side. For a complete meal, consider serving it after a hearty dish like Brendan'S Beer Battered Onion Rings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help maintain the pie’s texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can make this pie a day in advance. Just allow it to cool completely before refrigerating. This will enhance the flavors and make it easier to slice. Remember to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving, to bring back some of its original texture.
What can I use if I don't have egg yolks?
If you don’t have egg yolks, you can substitute two egg whites for each egg yolk. This will lighten the texture of the pie slightly, but it will still be delicious. Alternatively, use 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons of water as a thickening agent.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly but not liquid. It should be lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on it in the last 10 minutes to prevent overbaking.
