Notes: When I was a child, my Grandma Bowman used to make this and we all were so glad. I loved watching her prepare her Flapper Pie (often called Millionaire Pie as the ingredients were considered expensive), and the kitchen smelled so good! This recipe was handed down from her grandmother Trussell to her mother to her.
