    Hoosier Amish Peanut Butter Pie

    Published: Jun 23, 2020 · Updated: Oct 1, 2020 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    By Kevin Williams

    There are many variations on peanut butter pie, some with classic homemade crusts, others with store-bought. Some have chocolate in them so that it's more like a giant Reese's Cup, others are more down-to-earth.  This recipe is kind of a combination of all.

    My parents made it (and I got to have a piece) and, man, good, good pie.

    I've written before that Yoder's Restaurant in Sarasota, Florida and The Home Place both have SUPERB Peanut Butter Pies from the Amish tradition.

    But this recipe is no slouch, I really like it.

    What an amazing-looking pie!

    early in the mixing process, not the most appetizing looking here...

    Love those crumbles in the crust!

    What an amazing-looking pie!

    Look at that thick layer of peanut butter filling, man, this is a keeper of a recipe!
