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".
