Bet you are wondering what a hypocrite pie is, right? Me, too. I got this recipe from a friend at church, but didn’t really get an explanation of the “hypocrite” part.
So Google was asked and here is what I found: “It’s called Hypocrite Pie because a layer of custard conceals the layer of cooked … fruit on the bottom, which contrasts so delightfully with the custard.”
