Old Fashioned Cornflake Pie

By jjadin

Ingredients

• One 9-inch single deep-dish Flaky Pie Crust rolled out, fitted into pie plate, and edge trimmed and crimped
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup dark corn syrup
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups coarsely crushed cornflakes

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Prepare the pie crust and set aside.

Thoroughly mix together the sugar and corn syrup in a large bowl. Crack the eggs, one at a time, over a small bowl. Beat them well, then stir them into the sugar mixture.

Add the vanilla, melted butter, and salt and stir until blended. Fold in crushed cornflakes until well-coated. Pour the filling into the pie crust, place in the oven, and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.

Let cool completely on a wire rack. A scoop of vanilla ice cream does this pie good.
