Ingredients
- Grandma's Pie Crust
- ½ cup () white granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cups () milk

- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

- Stir constantly until mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Place lid on mixture and continue cooking for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

- Slice 2 bananas. Dip slices in lemon juice, shake off excess and distribute banana slices in the bottom of baked pie shell.
- Pour half of pie filling over bananas in bottom of pie shell. Make sure banana slices are covered by pie filling.
- Slice remaining 2 bananas. Dip in lemon juice, shake off excess and arrange on top of filling in pie.
- Pour remainder of pie filling over second layer of bananas in pie shell. Cover all bananas with filling.
- Chill for about 1 hour before adding topping.
- In a large bowl, whip cream with electric mixer until peaks are just forming.
- Beat vanilla and sugar into cream and continue mixing until peaks form in cream. Don't over beat the mixture or it will form lumps and begin to turn to butter.
- Spread whipped cream mixture over pie filling on chilled pie. Keep chilled until served.
