Personal Notes:
I have fond memories of spending the night with Mopey in her red house. What a sweet lady she was and treated me like a princess! Im so glad she was such a good friend to our Nammy. My mom, Mada Lackey wrote below this recipe :"My mother's lifelong friend served this pie to our family in about 1952. I was ten years old and I remember that day. The pie was so good!"
