Crack Pie Recipes

MOMOFUKU CRACK PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl with a hand-held electric mixer), beat together butter, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat until combined.
• With mixer running on low, add flour mixture in small increments until fully combined. Add oats and mix until combined.
• Spread mixture into an unlined, ungreased 9x13 baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes until golden brown and set. Cool a few minutes in pan, then turn out onto a rack until cool to the touch. Lower the oven to 350°F while the cookie cools.
• Crumble the cooled cookie into the workbowl of a food processor. Add butter, brown sugar and salt. Pulse until combined (a clump of the mixture should hold together when pinched together). Divide the mixture between 2 10" pie pans, pressing into an even, thin layer on the bottom and sides. (The top edge will be ragged.).
• In a large bowl, whisk together white sugar, brown sugar, salt and powdered milk. Add melted butter, cream and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Whisk in egg yolks one at a time. Be careful not to incorporate too much air.
• Divide the filling evenly between the two pie crusts. Bake one pie at a time for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 325°F for 10 minutes, until the filling is golden brown but still jiggly (like a pecan pie). Place pie pans on a rack to cool.
• Refrigerate the pies until well-chilled; the filling will be gooey. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

CRACKER PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir together until evenly incorporated. Pour mixture into a 9-inch round pie dish. Press evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the dish using a glass.
• Bake in the oven until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool before adding filling.

GRAHAM CRACKER PIE

Steps:

• To Make Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well, then stir in softened butter or margarine. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
• Generously grease an 8 inch pie pan. Press graham cracker mixture evenly into pan. Chill until ready to use.
• To Make Filling: In a heavy saucepan, mix together sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually add milk, stirring well. Add egg yolks and whisk until mixture is smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Stir in vanilla extract and allow mixture to cool.
• Pour cooled filling into crust and chill before serving.
