Sugar Pie

     Pioneer Sugar Pie

My friend Connie shared this recipe of an old favorite recipe from the time of the Depression.  It is reported to be from an area of eastern Indiana where a large population of Amish have settled.
 
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup evaporated milk (or cream)
1 1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp butter
8 inch unbaked pie shell
                                                                           *

Combine sugar, flour, nutmeg, salt. Add milk/cream and vanilla. Mixture will be
thin. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Dot with small pieces of butter. Bake 375
degrees F. for 45 to 50 minutes on middle shelf. Cool completely. The filling will thicken as the pie cools.
