This Sugar Cream Pie

This rich, custardy sugar cream pie is an Indiana specialty. With just one bite of this decadent dessert, you’ll see why!

Sugar cream pie, aka “Hoosier pie,” is a rich, custard-filled pie with warm notes of cinnamon on top of a flaky, buttery crust. This pie is an Indiana classic (it’s actually their official state pie!). It first originated in the 1800s thanks to the Indiana Amish and Shaker communities. Sugar cream pies are so easy to make and require only a few pantry staples that you probably already have on hand.
