Amish Pie Recipes

When the Amish settled in Pennsylvania, they brought their love of pastries with them. Pies quickly became a mainstay of their diet which included the famous â€œshooflyâ€ pie.
â€œThe desserts became part of our sustenance,â€ Amish historian Abigail Marks said. â€œThe women made pies for men when they went to work in the fields and pies when they came home.â€
The pies were not limited to just an after dinner dessert. They became a convenient way to feed a lot of hungry mouths.
â€œWe used to eat pies at almost every meal,â€ Marks said. â€œBut that was back in the 1940s. I'm sure it goes way beyond that. There are numerous pies on the Amish menu, many of which have been forgotten.â€
What is presented here is the â€œold-schoolâ€ way of doing things in the Amish country. Not all recipes come from the modern health-conscious mindset. But if certain ingredients are replaced than something would be lost in the translation. What was important here is the creation of a good pie not a low fat dessert.
