Banana Puddin’ Pie

Combine pudding mix and milk in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Immediately remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla extract. Let cool.

While the pudding is cooling, slice the bananas (1/4 inch thick) and place them in the pie crust, evenly covering the bottom. Stir pudding again and pour into the pie shell. (You will have about a cup of pudding left over for snacking.) Chill pie in the refrigerator. Spread whipped topping on top of the pie before serving.
