Description

Times were tough during the Great Depression in the 1930's. Ingredients were hard to come by, but people still wanted to enjoy their food. This pie is updated a bit with a store bought crust and has a buttery, creamy taste like a custard pie.

Ingredients

• 9 inch store bought, deep-dish pie crust, cold, unbaked
• 1 1/2 c. water
• 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 c. sugar
• 2 t. vanilla extract
• 5 T. butter, cut into 5 pats

Steps

1. Move an oven rack down one notch to help the crust brown.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
3. Place the unbaked, empty pie crust on a baking sheet. Pour the water into the pie crust.
