Bob Andy Pie is an amusing name for a pie, but that doesn’t imply that it tastes funny. On the contrary, it’s a creamy custard pie spiced with cinnamon and about as comfortable as pie can get. It has its roots in the Amish settlements of the Midwest, so it’s been there for a long time, but it’s the type of dessert that has tremendous staying power. One try, and you’ll understand why.There are two storylines.

The story claims that an Amish farmer came in from the fields, tasted the pie, and exclaimed, “This pie is as good as Bob and Andy!”. Bob and Andy are his treasured plow horses. In the second scenario, an Amish homemaker was unable to prepare a tasty treat for her family due to a lack of ingredients. She was able to gather enough ingredients to make this pie, and her family loved it so much, especially her elder boys Bob and Andy, that she named it for them.
