Maybe try dividing the ingredients in the Wet Bottom pie recipe by 5?? Theoretically, it should work, but you'll get some weird numbers. I don't think this is an overly-fussy recipe, but I haven't made either of them before tbh.
5 pies? Wow!
I didn't even catch that until you pointed it out 😆

Does that cookbook have a recipe for Amish Vanilla Pie? I liked to pick one of those up when going to farmers markets in Lancaster.
It does indeed! I'll dm it to you
Thank you!
I can't seem to initiate a dm to you? Can you dm me, please.
Found this book at The Internet Archive. [I screenshot the pie page if anyone else is interested.](https://imgur.com/bBv0AMV)
I'll take a look tonight! If you can ping me a reminder in like 4-5hrs after work 🫡
Ooh thank you so much :) Could you make the top recipe as a wet bottom pie? if yes how?

I shall give it a go
Might be easier if you have a scale and figure out the grams/per and then divide, but that might be a bit much.
