Happy Thanksgiving!

  Going to my brother Cliff's for dinner.  Our Sunday turkey dinner with Amy & Sharif and Tater & Jessica was great.  The pies were yummy.  Had turkey & noodles yesterday.  Doesn't seem right to make that before Thanksgiving day.  I made another batch of mom's rolls and made 3 more pies for Clifford's dinner: another pumpkin, a banana cream and a sour cream apple pie.  I think I will be pied out after today.  Here are the 2 new ones I made:

Banana Cream Pie


1 cup sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups milk (I use 1 %)
1 1/2 cups canned evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)
1 whole egg
2 egg yolks ( sometimes I just add another whole egg)
3 tbsp butter
2 tsp vanilla
1 9" baked pie crust
3 bananas, halved lengthwise then sliced
whipped cream or dream whip for topping
For filling, in medium saucepan combine sugar, flour and salt; gradually stir in milks. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat, cook and stir 2 minutes more.
Remove from heat. Beat eggs slightly. Gradually stir 1 cup of the hot mixture into the eggs. Return the egg mixture to saucepan; bring to a gentle boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla. Fold bananas into warm filling, cool slightly. Pour into pie crust and chill. Serve with whipped topping..

Sour Cream Apple Pie


1 cup commercial sour cream
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, lightly beaten

4 cups peeled, sliced cooking apples
1 unbaked 9-inch pastry shell

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer 3 minutes. Gently fold in apple slices. Spoon mixture into pastry shell. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. (Cover edges of pastry with strips of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browing, if necessary.)

Combine brown sugar and 1/3 cup flour; cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over pie. Bake an additional 20 minutes. Serve warm or let cool.
