A true Southern classic and one of the most comforting pies there is. A buttery, flaky crust is filled with a rich, sweet custard that bakes into a silky center with a golden, crackly top. It’s an old-fashioned recipe made from simple ingredients (plus a couple of secrets we’re keeping to ourselves), and somehow it’s always the first pie gone at the holiday table. This full 9-inch pie is perfect for Thanksgiving dessert.
