Personal Notes:
This is my grandmother's recipe and has yet to disappoint. She always makes the best pie for every occasion. This recipe has been passed down for several generations. One of my ancestors was a cook for a wealthy family and this was her recipe. It has lots of history of pleasing tummies.
