Peanut butter pies are a treat in a lot of households. We love eating these creamy goodies every other weekend too. Normally peanut butter pies are thick, heavy, and loaded with peanut butter. I always feel like I’ve eaten an entire village’s worth of food after just one slice of PB pie. The good thing is that Yoder’s peanut butter pie recipe is made by the Amish, which means it’s a delectable home-cooked pie with light and airy peanut butter.Â
