If the idea of a gooey peanut butter pie has your attention, this old-fashioned peanut butter pie recipe is for you. It is made from simple ingredients, has big peanut butter flavor and is sure to become of your favorite sweet treats.
Place pie crust dough in a deep dish pie plate and preheat the oven to 350°F
In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, peanut butter, corn syrup and salt until well combined.
Stir in the eggs and vanilla. You can use a mixer, but don't whip it too hard. If you create too many air bubbles they will be visible on the top of the pie.
Pour peanut butter mixture into prepared pie shell.
Bake for 60-70 minutes until the top is puffed and the middle is almost set. If the filling is browning to quickly, you may have to loosely tent with foil about half way through. Don't let the foil touch the filling, as it will remove some of the caramelized top. (Not that such a thing has ever happened to me.)
Allow to cool before serving. The top will sink as it cools. Store in the refrigerator.
