Certain pies are popular at certain times. Apple pie seems to be a favorite during summer picnic months. And obviously pumpkin pie is the staple of most Thanksgiving dessert menus.
But it's nice to offer a variety sometimes. Apple and pecan pies seem like popular complements to pumpkin. But if you want to really mix things up a bit Brown Sugar Pie is a winner you might want to try.
This is a classic "Plain pie", coming from the scratch traditions of the Amish and Brethren church. The ingredients in this pie are probably ones you already have in your pantry and, wow, does it make a great pie! The top layer is slightly crispy/firm, encasing a sweet custardy consistency beneath.
While Brown Sugar Pie may not have Amish origins, the Amish have adopted it. The simplicity of the recipe fits right in with Amish culinary culture. It has become one of their favorite dessert dishes.

✔️ Brown Sugar Pie Tips
Brown sugar pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. Here are some tips to help you make the perfect pie:
- Use a good quality pie crust. A buttery, flaky crust is essential for a delicious brown sugar pie.
- Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to it if you like cinnamon.
- Use dark brown sugar. Dark brown sugar has a richer flavor than light brown sugar, which will make your pie taste even better.
- Don't overcook the pie. Brown sugar pie is best when it is still slightly jiggly in the center. Overcooking will make the pie tough and dry.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.
Here are some additional tips:
- If you don't have a pre-made pie crust, you can make your own. There are many simple recipes available online.
- You can add other ingredients to your brown sugar pie, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit.
- Serve brown sugar pie with fresh whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a dollop of your favorite flavored yogurt.
This is an amazing pie. I'll give you one last hint: if you can,cover with aluminum foil and let the pie sit overnight before eating. The flavors have a chance to really meld. You can let the pie sit at room temperature or chill overnight the refrigerator.
This is a quick pie to make, not much prep time. Maybe 15 minutes of making the pie before popping it in the oven. So maybe an hour of total time.

I live in New York State and was wondering if you would tell where the Amish bakery is located. Would love to go and buy from an Amish bakery.
