How to Make Amish Sugar Cream Pie

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup half-and-half, and 1 cup heavy whipping cream.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. In a separate small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch.
  4. Gradually whisk the hot cream mixture from the first saucepan into the sugar and cornstarch mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons margarine or butter.
  6. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens significantly.
  7. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 1 minute, and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Pour the warm filling into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust (recipe #126072 recommended).
  9. Sprinkle the top evenly with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  10. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  11. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
