Serves 8
3 large eggs
1 9-inch pie shell
2 cups whole milk
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons salt
Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Crack eggs in a medium bowl; brush pie shell with a little of the egg whites. Whisk eggs until thoroughly mixed; whisk in milk. Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl, then whisk into milk mixture.
Set pie shell on oven rack and pour filling into shell. Bake until custard has set and crust is golden, about 50 minutes.
Cool and serve room temperature or chilled.
I’ve never heard of this before either, but it sounds simple and delicious!
What a simple recipe! I love it!
I don’t make pie very often…i don’t know why. I think I will start with this one:)
Hmmmm…. I’m curious! I’ll give it a go!
I’m so drawn to pies and other baked goods with names like this – it screams “classic Americana”. And looks delicious too!
Looks like a variation of the Indiana Sugar Cream Pie – and it’s quite delicious!
Such a simple recipe for a really tasty looking pie!
Pam, this recipe looks great! If I make this with a homemade crust, how long do you think I should pre-bake the crust before pouring the filling in?
Looks really good. Simple food is the best!
How would this taste? Seems to me it would be custardy?
I am totally intrigued by this pie! It looks and sounds absolutely delicious! Is there a story behind it?
I agree — it looks like a version of Sugar Cream Pie. That’s one of my absolute favorites!
We sold a lot of these pies in our restaurant in Northen In.
Amish counry.
I love a good custard pie! I’ve heard of this but never made it. Its different from Sugar cream pie in that it has eggs. If you haven’t had a good Indiana Sugar Cream pie, you need to try one. Its amazing what awesomeness comes from sugar, milk, and a little bit of flour!
Love the browned (carmelized?) top!
This sounds similar to the sugar cream pies my family made in Indiana when I was a child.
Looks like the old-timey yummy egg custard pie that I so loved when I was young, cute & skinny!!!!
Here in Arkansas this would be called a Egg Custard pie, It is a old, old recipe and my Daddy’s favorite.
Yummy! Will have to try this.
The picture makes it look like a chocolate layer on top. What makes it look so dark?
Looks wonderful! Nice to see your pie on PW’s website, my pie is there too. What a fun week!
I’m trying this for Thanksgiving, along with a traditional pumpkin pie. I’m thinking it’s dark on top because the cinnamon floated up and settled there. Am I right?
You are correct, Vee. The brown top is from the cinnamon that floats to the top.
I just made it! However I cooked it for 50 minutes at 325 and it is really really liquid-y still. Does it set up once it cools or should it be completely set after you cook it?
Rusanne,
It should be set when you take it out. You might want to buy an oven thermometer to check your oven. Let me know if it eventually set up. Happy Thanksgiving!
My Mom made a Bob Andy pie when I was a child. I have her recipe, but it does not have cinnamon in it. I just made two pies for Thanksgiving tomorrow.
I made this pie for Christmas and it was AWESOME. I live in Australia and Aussie’s aren’t too familiar with cinnamon, thinking it a “hot” flavour. However, this pie went over FABULOUSLY. It was so easy and I loved how smooth it is. Another bonus is that it’s cold. It’s hot here in Australia at Christmas – a nice cool pie was very welcome!
Thanks for this recipie! I will add it to my collection and bake it often. =)
Bob Andy pie sounds good and similar to Indiana specialty, cream pie. Have you ever tried Pickle Pie…delicious, made in a motel/restaurant in Bicknell, Utah…
No I haven’t heard of PIckle Pie, but I think I need to check it out! Thanks for sharing!
Made this last night and it was really good! I thought it tasted alot like flan. Thanks
I made this pie with half the sugar and subbing out cinnamon for nutmeg and it was exactly the home-cooking custard pie I’d been dreaming of. Yum city!
just tried this recipe out, helllllooooo cinnamon eggs! That’s what it tastes like because that all it is! I still ate it though, so I guess cinnamon eggs are ok.
