April is one of Paul's very best friends. I recently met her when Aniell and I went to visit them in Harrisburg for a little overnight jaunt. Love her! I asked why everyone was calling her "Apple" and Paul explained that April's nephew, Tyler, wasn't able to say the word "April" when he was little, and he always called her "Apple". So there ya have it.
Anyway, she told me that peanut butter is her favorite thing in the whole wide world, and I immediately thought of this pie. It's SO good!
So, Apple, this is for you!!!!!
Kisses!!!!
1 unbaked pie crust
3 eggs
1 cups dark corn syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 cup salted peanuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place pie crust in a pie plate. Pinch around the perimeter to make a decorative edge. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together next 5 ingredients until well combined. Stir in peanuts. Pour into prepared crust.
Carefully transfer to oven. Bake 45 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Cool completely. Top with sliced bananas and Whipped Cream.
Tip:
For a home made pie crust, make half the recipe for Easy Pie Crust.
I like to roughly chop the peanuts before adding them to the mixture, but it's not necessary.
You could omit the peanuts altogether and use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy, but I think you'd miss the salty roasted flavor of the peanuts.
I'm just sayin'.
