Gluten-Free Southern Peanut Pie:

Indeed, this is a southern staple retro pie. A nostalgic dessert as vintage as and as comforting cracker jacks. Needless to say, I remember my dad telling me about this pie. My father was from Oklahoma. Consequently, I wanted to try this pie for myself. Hence, this is my version.

For example, this pie has been served at the legendary landmark railroad car restaurant, the Virginia Diner in Wakefield, VA. Wakefield is the peanut capital of the world hence, making them world-famous.

Nevertheless, this pie was originally made and eaten by slaves. Peanuts gained their fame after George Washington Carver Inventor and Scientist created uses and recipes for them. Research suggests that slaves invented both Pecan Pie and Peanut Pie. It is past due to give credit where credit is due. Slavery was and is an abomination.
