Flapper pie is a vanilla custard pie topped with meringue (or sometimes whipped cream in Southern Saskatchewan).[1][2] The Graham cracker cream pie dates back to the 19th century but entered Western Canadian pop culture in the 20th century as flapper pie.[2]
The pie is a staple of the Canadian prairie culture.[2] At the Salisbury House chain of restaurants in Winnipeg, it is sold as "wafer pie".
