I typically am not a pie person.
I know, I know. Cast your judgements :)
Its just if I am going to indulge in a dessert, pie would not be my first choice…. that is unless this pie is making its appearance!
I am sure we all have recipes that take us back to childhood. This is one for me. Both my grandma and mom make this often. It is a GORGEOUS pie and has a flavor to match!
