Amish Vanilla Pie

Amish Vanilla Pie

This is a great desert! Kind of like a pecan pie without the nuts.

Ingredients

• Dough for single-crust pie
• 1 cup packed brown sugar, divided
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
• 1 large egg, room temperature, beaten
• 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
• 2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold butter

Directions

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, egg, corn syrup and vanilla extract. Slowly stir in water. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil, 3-4 minutes. Cool slightly.
3. In second bowl, combine remaining brown sugar and flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, nutmeg and salt; cut in butter until crumbly.
4. Pour cooled filling into pie crust; sprinkle top with crumble. Bake until light golden brown, 45-55 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
