Chemeketan Pie
Crust:
9 whole graham crackers, crushed
1/2 cup suger
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened
Combine all (I whirl it in a food processor until it's like crumbs), reserve 1/8 cup, pat remainder into pie plate.
Filling:
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 tbl cornstarch
Pinch of salt
2 cups milk
3 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
Cook first 4 ingredients until thick, then add egg yolks. Cook 3-5 minutes more, then stir in vanilla. Set aside to cool a bit.
Meringue:
3 egg whites
6 tbl sugar
Beat until stiff, but not dry.
Assembly:
Put filling into pie shell and top with meringue. Sprinkle with 2-3 tbl chopped walnuts and reserved crumbs. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes.
Mmm, pie.

Holy pie! That's an easy recipe! I can't wait to try it out, thanks for posting it! I love your blog, keep up the good work!
Thanks Bri! Let me know how it turns out.
This sounds good. Maybe I will attempt it sometime. I am not the best baker!
How on earth did you get that recipe? That's a carefully guarded family recipe. Now I think that you should give the Whitcombs your father's recipe for his baklava.
I copied down a bunch of your recipes a long time ago--chemekatan pie, crazy cake, russian apple cake. :)
My dad's making baklava for Thanksgiving, I'll try to transcribe the recipe and post it.
Thanks! I'll be looking for that recipe. It is the best baklava ever. I have many of my recipes posted at Molly's recipes. But not chemeketan pie. By the way, in your recipe I think that there's a small glitch, but at the moment I can't find my recipe book. I'll get back to you on that.
