Step 1. Set the oven. Prepare the dry ingredients with water to make the pie crust. Roll and fold the dough before pressing it into the pie pan. Trim the excess and fold the edges under and crimp. Use parchment paper to line the pie crust and fill it with pie weights or dry beans to “pre-bake”. Bake in the oven, then remove the dry beans or weights and place them aside.
Step 2. Prepare the filling and combine until thick. Line the base of the crust with two layers of sliced bananas before adding the filling on top. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees and set it in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Once done, take it out and let it cool. Allow it to chill for a couple of hours or overnight for the best results. Top with whipped cream and more banana slices. Serve and enjoy!
Hint: Instead of a fork, you can use a pastry wheel to crimp the edges of the pie crust.
