Papa's Angel Pie
Share recipe
Description
When it comes to family get-togethers, there is one thing Papa will always be remembered for, and that is his famous 'Angel Pie'. This is the first year that the whisk has been passed down, and I hope to one day pass it down to my grandchildren, too. Here's hoping it brings as much love to your table.
Ingredients
- 3 egg whites
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 20 buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), coarsely crumbled
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 1 pinch white sugar, or to taste
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
- 2. Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and baking powder, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
- 3. Fold crackers and pecans into the egg whites. Add vanilla and stir.
- 4. Bake pie in preheated oven until set in the middle, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- 5. Beat cream with pinch sugar in a bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the cream will form sharp peaks. Top cooled pie with whipped cream to serve.
