I was inspired to make this recipe because of this episode of Psych in which Gus and Shawn eat more slices of cinnamon pie than I can count (okay, I could but then I'd have to watch the whole episode, which I don't have time for today).
Cinnamon Pie
Printable recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 c. white sugar
- 1.5 Tbsp flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 Tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 c milk
- 1 unbaked pie crust (10", these are found in freezer section)
Optional:
Whipped cream
Procedure:
1) Preheat oven to 400º F
2) In a medium bowl combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt.
3) Add beaten egg, butter and vanilla. Mix well.
4) Add milk. Mixture will be very thin, aka "liquid-y".
5) If using the aluminum pie plate it came in, place crust on cookie sheet first. Pour mixture into pie crust and place in oven.
No, I didn't put my crust on a cookie sheet first, that was an after thought. |
Will look cooked on top, but pudding like underneath until it sets. |
8) If desired, serve with whipped cream!
9) Watch Psych.
Looks good right?
Good pie and some Psych...that sounds like one hell of a combination to me! I think this is perfect to set off my first day off in a long, long time!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, first? Never apologise for posting dessert recipes. Who cares about healthy stuff when there's pie on offer?? ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by that pie. I've only ever made apple pie. Is the middle of it like cinnamon flavoured custard? I don't think you can get frozen pie crusts here, but if you can, I think I'll have to try this!
@Thundercat: I know the feeling!
ReplyDelete@Melbourne: This actually tastes a lot like apple pie sans apples. And yes sort of custard-y, flan-like. Looks like the same consistency of pumpkin pie but I don't really know because I don't eat pumpkin pie. I'm sure you don't have to use a frozen pie crust, just most of us wouldn't make one from scratch because that's a whole other daunting task. This was really so easy it wasn't even funny.
That looks so good! Yeah we do not get frozen pie crusts either but then I prefer making them from scratch anyway :) I have so many posts of your recipes bookmarked its not even funny!
ReplyDelete@Apfel: That's awesome! I'm thrilled that I'm bringing you recipes you want to make. I have so many recipes I want to try too which is one of the reasons I made it a feature on my blog; so that I force myself to make something new at least once a week :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a good episode! I've seen it like three times :)
