From the time I started dating Jim (several years ago 
), until many years into our marriage, I remember enjoying times with his mom in the kitchen. For a long time I was the only girl around (Jim only has one younger brother) and the two of us would visit and talk as we made many different recipes together.
Jim’s mom always loved to try new recipes. Whether it was one printed in the local newspaper or one she found in a magazine somewhere, she was never afraid to use the family to test her “experiments.”
On one occasion, I remember we made a “pie” unlike any I had ever seen. The two things I remember were (1) there was no actual crust put into the pie pans and (2) the batter was so thick I ended up mixing it by putting my hands into it (I washed them first!)
However, my clearest memory from that first time of making this recipe was how scrumptious it tasted! It was moist, chewy, and full of flavor. It really was not like any other pie I had ever tasted. Now, over the years, it has become a family favorite.
Although Jim’s mom is no longer able to cook, Faith and I wanted to pass her recipe along to you. It’s just one small way to keep her legacy going.
If you take the time to make it, we’re sure you will find it tastes great. And besides, who knows? Maybe it will become a favorite in your family, too.
So, from our family to yours, we present Norwegian Pie–just like Mom Sloderbeck used to make
Norwegian Pie
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups diced apples
1 cup pecans or walnuts
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Take two 9-inch pie pans, butter them and dust lightly with flour
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients
- After well blended, add the apples and nuts. Mixture will be hard to stir
- Place equal amounts of the batter into each pie pan
- Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees
- Allow to cool
This pie is also very good when served with a scoop of ice cream.
P.S. This pie freezes well, too.
