How to cook deliciously - Stack Pie

1. Stage

Trim the piecrusts so that the rims of your pie plates are exposed.

2. Stage

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

3. Stage

In a small saucepan, melt 1 1/2 cups of the butter.

4. Stage

Whisk the eggs until they are light. Add the granulated sugar, the melted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla, and whisk until well combined. Fold in 1 cup of the cream. Pour 1 1/2 cups of the filling into each piecrust.

5. Stage

Place the pies in the oven, two or four, as room allows, and bake them until the filling is set in the middle, about 35 minutes. Allow the pies to cool in the pie plates. While the pies are cooling, make the icing.

6. Stage

In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup of the cream, the brown sugar, and the salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a soft boil. Cook it for 5 minutes, without stirring, until the mixture thickens a bit, or reaches 238 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, and let the mixture cool for 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining teaspoon of vanilla.

7. Stage

Beat the icing until it is thick and creamy. If the icing seems too firm to spread, beat in additional cream, 1 tablespoon at a time.

8. Stage

Run a long, thin spatula around and under one of the pies to slip it out of its pan. Place it on a cake dish or large plate, and spread the top lightly with about 1/2 cup of the icing.

9. Stage

Stack the second pie on top of the first, and spread the top with about 1/2 cup of the icing. Repeat with the third pie. Stack the fourth pie on top. Frost it with the remaining icing.
