This was a good pie. It didn't have quite enough of a distinct peanut butter flavor for my family's liking (maybe more peanut butter next time or less corn syrup/sugar), but it is still really good. I served with whipped cream on top. I think vanilla ice cream would be delicious on the side also!

Delicious recipe! Only problem I had was the baking time. Followed the directions exactly, but mine was overdone at 30 min at 350. I will watch it more carefully next time and check at 20 minutes. Still wonderfully good. I also prefer the smooth peanut butter and real whipped cream. Good stuff, and so easy to make. Thanks, Tina, for sharing!

I followed the directions exactly, pie blew up in oven! I'll try again because the batter was delicious...think I'll try 350 degrees for 40 minutes though instead of the confusing two-stage method.

This is the best peanut butter recipe and the same recipe my Mom used. Now I know the source of the recipe. An American classic and soooo goooood!! I prefer the smooth peanut butter for this. For best results, homemade pastry shell and real whipped cream! Yep!
