Sugar Cream Pie

I have heard of the Sugar Pie, also known as the Indiana Sugar Pie.  Never had one (at least, until today).  Finally,curiosity won out and I decided I had to make one.  So off to the Internet I ran as I could not find a recipe in any of my many cookbooks (amazing!!!).  I picked this recipe out of the many I found because of the reviews.   Though I am curious why it is often referred to as an Indiana Sugar Pie.  Is there some state law that I am unaware of that says only people in Indiana are allowed to make this pie??

After reading endless Sugar Pie recipes,  I decided on this recipe from the "my-indiana-home.com" web page.  The recipe is title "Sugar Cream Pie from Nick's Kitchen."  Not sure who Nick is, but apparently everyone liked his recipe.  I am guessing that he is a chef or owns a restaurant where he serves this pie.

Oh my!!!  This is such an easy pie - probably the hardest part in making the crust - seriously!!  Word of warning . . . this will make your kitchen smell WONDERFUL!!!  If this pie tastes half as good as it makes my kitchen smell, this recipe will be a keeper!!!

Sugar Cream Pie from Nick's Kitchen

Ingredients:

2 cups heavy cream (I didn't have heavy cream - I had heavy whipping cream - so I used that - can't see that would make much difference!)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 9 inch pie crust (your favorite recipe or store bought - heaven forbid!!)
3 T sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 T unsalted butter

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350
In a medium mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, sugars, milk and vanilla.  Mix together.

Roll out the crust into a 9" pie pan and dot the bottom with the butter.
Pour the filling into the pie crust.
Mix the cinnamon to the 3T of sugar and sprinkle over the top of the pie.

Bake until the pie set and center is firm to touch - roughly about 1 hour.
Cool on a wire rack, if you can!!  Your house will smell heavenly !!!
