I love peanut butter with banana, so it only made sense to me to create a pie with that combination. I also used the flavors of banana's foster to create this delectable pie.—Emily Hobbs, Ozark, Missouri

Bananas Foster Pie Recipe

Prep: 45 min. + chilling

Yield: 8 Servings

35 10 45

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 45 wafers)
1/4 cup butter, melted
FILLING:
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups 2% milk
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 medium bananas
Whipped cream, caramel sundae syrup and chopped salted peanuts

Directions

Combine the wafer crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat.
Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter, rum and vanilla.
Slice bananas into the crust; pour filling over top. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. Garnish as desired with whipped cream, caramel syrup and peanuts. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Yield: 8 servings.

Banana Basics

Look for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness. If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe. Adding an apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.
