As tomorrow is the first official day of Summer, I wanted to write about something that would be a great option for any summertime event. I was browsing through my Our State Magazine and saw this recipe for Atlantic Beach Pie in the May issue. Atlantic Beach is on the coast of North Carolina and I have spent beach time there a few times. It is a small community and would be great for a family trip.
The recipe I am sharing with you has a crust made of saltine crackers and I have never heard of this type of crust before. The pie filling reminds me a lot of the key lime pie recipe that includes sweetened condensed milk. I am including the entire article by Bill Smith because it has some great information about the pie. I am thankful for Bill Smith for preserving Southern food traditions.
Just reading this article takes me back to those wonderful summer beach trips to Atlantic Beach. I hope you create some wonderful summer memories starting now. Happy summer everyone and thanks for stopping by.
This is your standard key lime pie recipe with out the saltines and salt. I just may try this.
That is the part of the recipe that really intrigued me.
