I was wondering if this was also called “ graham cracker pie”? My gran used to make this and this is what it was called. One of my favorites!!

This was my favourite treat as a kid. My mom made it and when I got older I too made it. But haven’t had it in about two decades. I’m going to pick up some graham crackers and make one in a day or two. Thanks

Does it make a difference if you use whole milk versus 1% (which is what I usually buy). I love these old recipes!

This is my second attempt with this recipe. First time I found it too sweet so cut the sugar in crust, filling and meringue by a third. Perfect! Will make again,

Would love to know how you changed this Flapper pie to be keto friendly for your husband? Would you share your keto version?! Thanks!! Geri

It’s been ATLEAST 45 years since my mother made me Flapper pie! Otherwise, I’ve not had any until about 3 months ago. I took my granddaughter to ABC Country Family Restaurant then and discovered that it’s on their menu list of deserts! Since then, I been back twice! Oh the memories! Thank you for the recipe!

Very happy to have found this recipe. I use to have it at Salisbury House in Winnipeg. When I moved to Toronto and came back for a visit, my dad asked me where I’d like to go for lunch – Salisbury House!

I’m back in Winnipeg now but don’t often indulge in it much as the number of Salisbury House locations had dwindled significantly.

When a recipe tastes “flat” or something is missing, it’s almost always needing a bit of salt! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!

I use the recipe from “A Century of Home Cooking: 1900 through the ’90s,” by Carol Ferguson and Margaret Fraser. This is a terrific book, with chapters on each decade including a general overview of cooking trends as well as recipes. (Flapper Pie is in the chapter on the 1920s.) I have always felt that there was a little something missing from my flapper pie, and I learned from your recipe that the missing thing was A DASH OF SALT! It makes a difference. Thank you.
