Combine all dry ingredients in pan and mix well. Add milk and cook on low to medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to thicken.

Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla and mix (stir by hand) well. Pour pie filling into a baked pie crust.
Note: Pie dough should be pricked prior to baking to prevent crust from bubbling.

Meringue:
