Just a single bite of this traditional treat takes me back to the days when Mom would fix this pie for Dad, Grandfather and me. Mom also regularly prepared pies for large gatherings. This dessert was often requested. -Barbara Hyatt, Folsom, California

I saw this recipe in the taste of home online a year or so ago. I tried it and my family loves it. I made this Custard Pie as a bake custard. I didn't change the recipe at all. I just bake in small dishes covered 3/4 with water in a turkey pan. Yes, I use a turkey pan. My family likes this recipe so much I have to double the recipe. This Custard doesn't have a water on top after the custard has been cooled. I don't know but maybe, it's the egg that has been beaten and added. Thank you TASTE of Home for all the great recipes that you have supplied.

This pie reminds me of my grandmother's recipe. I used real pure vanilla extract and it was awesome.
