Corn Pie
David Allan F

         

This pie is made for family holiday dinners. It goes with any roast, bird, or ham. Gravy can be poured over each slice to enhance moistness and flavor.  It's a favorite of David's even as leftovers.  It's a great side dish.

16 oz can creamed corn                       
1 egg        
16 oz can whole corn
½ c bread crumbs or cracker meal       
½ c milk    
two 9" pie crusts
Drain whole corn. Mix creamed and whole corn in bowl. Add crumbs, milk, egg, salt and pepper. Pour into pie crust and top with second crust. Pinch edges of crust together. Bake at 350º for one hour or until golden brown.

Easy Apple Pie
Angelina Rachelle F

6-8 apples, cored, peeled, and sliced     
1 T cinnamon      
1/2 T nutmeg
1/2 c sugar                                             
4 T butter            
2 T flour
2 refrigerated ready made pie crusts
Place bottom pie crust in 8 or 9 inch greased pie dish.  Sprinkle flour over crust so that apple juices are absorbed while baking.  Toss apples in cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar and distribute over bottom crust.  Dot with the butter and place top crust over all and pinch shut.  Slit top crust to vent and place on a cookie sheet to distribute heat while baking or put foil around edges to keep them from burning.  Bake at 325° for about 35-45 minutes or until golden.  If you'd like a shiny crust you may spray the top crust with water or brush an egg wash on it 10 minutes before taking it out of the oven.  For a sugary crunch to the top crust you may sprinkle the top crust with sugar right after spraying it with water in the last 10 minutes of baking.

Many stories have been told about the days of picking huckleberries in the mountain areas of the North Schuylkill region by my parents, Joanna (Bendrick) Fritz and Alfred Fritz, Grandparents, Alfred and Nellie Fritz, and other relatives.

Shamrock Pie
Angelina Rachelle F

My mom and her friends threw theme parties one year whenever they'd get together.  The decorations and foods matched the theme.  They had a Mexican party, an Italian party, and even some really fun themed parties where they matched decorations and foods to the themes as well as what they wore, such as a Valentine's red and white party, and an Irish green and white party.  This Shamrock Pie was brought by mom's friend, Patricia Davidock Truskey, and it was a hit with its great flavor and green tint!

1 small can crushed pineapple        1 box pistachio pudding
1 8 oz whipped topping                 1 ready made graham cracker crust

Place pineapple with juice in a bowl. Add pudding mix and blend. Add whipped topping, mix well, and place in graham cracker crust. Chill 3-4 hours.
