Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Grape Nuts cereal
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 3 count Large eggs
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 count 9-inch pie crust (pre-made or homemade)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the Grape Nuts cereal and milk. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the cereal to soften.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the warm cereal and milk mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking. Stir in the melted butter.

Step 5

Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges, if desired. Pour the custard and Grape Nuts mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. The pie can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Step 8

Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
