Poor Man’s Pie (Hillbilly Pie)
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
(optional, 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
for added flavor)
2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon (if using).
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
Sprinkle the dry mixture evenly across the bottom of the unbaked pie crust.
Slowly pour the milk over the dry mixture to avoid disturbing it too much.
Evenly distribute the cubed butter across the surface.
Drizzle the vanilla extract over the top.
Step 4: Bake the Pie
Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Step 5: Serve
Slice the pie and serve warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy this simple and comforting dessert!
