Ingredients
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Combine both mixtures until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes or until set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the spices. If you’re out of eggs, you can substitute each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce. Ensure the pie crust is well-chilled before pouring in the filling for a flakier texture. This pie can be made with a gluten-free crust for a variation that suits gluten-sensitive diets.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Bobbie Andy Pie warm or chilled, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. It pairs beautifully with Chocolate Syrup For Ice Cream for an extra sweet touch. Consider serving it alongside a light salad for a balanced meal or as a sweet finish to a hearty dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, individual slices can be microwaved for 30-45 seconds.
