Dutch Sugar Cream Pie, or Hoosier Pie is the Indiana state pie. Learn how to make this simple yet rich, custardy sugar cream pie.
It originates from the Amish and Shaker communities of 1800s Indiana and is a classic!
Dutch sugar cream pie, is a custard-style pie with hints of warm cinnamon on top of a flaky, buttery crust.
Dutch sugar cream pies use basic, staple ingredients so you could easily make this without any special trip to the store.
To Make this Recipe You will Need:
- 9-inch pie crust, unbaked
- heavy whipping cream
- granulated sugar
- all-purpose flour
- vanilla extract
- cold, unsalted butter
- freshly grated nutmeg
To begin, you will need a 9-inch pie crust. I have to say, I experimented with a different pie crust recipe today and I should have known better. This crust was fine, but it didn’t like to stay together after it was chilled, and crumbled around the edges.
I already have a perfect pie crust recipe that works every time. Why mess with perfection? Lesson learned.
That said, after you have your crust in the pie plate and ready to go, refrigerate it for an hour in the plate.
When you are ready to make the pie, simply whisk the ingredients for the filling together and pour them into the crust.
Top with cold butter bits.
And finally dust with freshly grated nutmeg.
The pie will start off baking at 425°(F) for the first 10 minutes.
Then the oven will be lowered to 350°(F) for another 55 minutes or so. And when it is done? Look at this gorgeous pie!
Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled.
Enjoy!
