Directions:Crush 12 sweetened zwieback into fine crumbs with the rolling pin. Mix well with 3 tablespoons softened butter or margarine and 1 tablespoon sugar. Pat into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie pan.
For the filling --- Mix together until smooth 1 pound cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 well-beaten eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Pour into crust. Bake 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Then blend 1 cup thick sour cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Spread on top of the pie to within 1/2 inch of the edge. Place in 425 degree oven for 5 minutes. Cool and add the strawberry crown.
Strawberry part --- Select largest and most perfect berries from a pint of strawberries. Slice and arrange on top of the cooled pie. Crush the remaining berries and place in a small sauce pan with 3 tablespoons of water and 1/2 cup of sugar. Simmer 10 minutes and strain. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Cook 5 minutes more, stirring constantly. Cool slightly and pour over berries. Let the pie set 1 hour before cutting. |

Notes: This was typed on onion skin paper. Yellowed, crackly onion skin. And that's a manual typewriter font and ink pattern... Do they even make sweetened zwieback anymore? Has to be from the 40s or 50s. No list of ingredients sorted out, either. Just straight up do this to that. You better believe that I remember this pie, too.
