Here in mid-Michigan, the Amish folk with their quaint buggies and rustic clothing are not an unfamiliar sight. Rosie and I go to Napanee, Indiana to visit Amish Acres once in a while, because they have one of the best - although heavy! - menus in the area.
One of their specialties is baked goods - pies, cookies, and breads. In Charlotte, north of us about 12 miles, it is not unusual to see an Amish buggy tied up in the parking lot of the local Wal-Mart with the Amish ladies selling their baked goods.
One of my favorites is peanut butter pie. I ran across this recipe while looking through my over 1 million searchable recipes the other day, and thought I would share.
Enjoy…
Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie
3/4 c Powdered sugar
1/2 c Smooth peanut butter
1 c Sugar; divided
3 c Milk; divided
3 Eggs; separated
6 tb Cornstarch; divided
3 tb Flour
1/4 ts Salt
2 tb Butter
2 ts Vanilla; divided
1 Pie shell; baked
1/4 ts Cream of tartar
Beat together the powdered sugar and peanut butter until the mixture is
crumbly; set aside. In a large, heavy saucepan, combine 2/3 c sugar and 2
cup milk; heat to scalding or until bubbles start to form on the bottom. Do
not let it boil.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks to mix; blend in 3 T
cornstarch, flour and salt. Stir to make a paste. Whisk in the remaining 1
cup cold milk, whisking until the mixture is smooth. Pour in some of the
hot milk mixture, stirring to combine.
Add mixture in bowl to the milk in the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat,
stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles up in the center. Add the
butter and 1 t vanilla. Remove from heat and let custard cool. Preheat oven
to 350 degrees. Sprinkle 2/3 of the crumbly peanut butter mixture in the
bottom of the baked (and cooled) pastry shell. Pour the cooled custard
mixture over the top.
In a large mixer bowl, place the egg whites, cream of tartar and remaining
1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually, while beating,
add the 4 tablespoons remaining sugar and 3 T remaining cornstarch.
Continue beating until whites are very think and glossy. Spread on top of
pie; sprinkle the remaining peanut butter mixture on top.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes; watching carefully, or until the meringue is
golden brown. Cool.
Peace,

There are several ways to do it. My personal favorite is, I think, the best tasting. It's also the easiest. Here is what you need:
1 8 oz. pkg. of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted.
1 regular sized container non-dairy whipped topping
1 ready made chocolate cookie pie crust
Using a mixer, cream peanut butter and cream cheese at medium speed. Slowly add, a little at a time, add the powdered sugar. When mixture is well mixed and creamy, add whipped topping and beat until very creamy. Pour into pie crust and chill about 90 minutes. If you like, grate a chocolate bar on top, or sprinkle on some crushed Butterfinger candies. This recipe is easy to double, and it tastes great! Good Luck!
