Note: Cut the slices small for this pie is quite rich.
the first time I made this was for a PTO dessert dinner when Rebekah was in
Kindergarten (she’s now in college). I think I got it out of a Pillsbury
bake-off booklet, but I don’t have that included with my recipe, and it’s
been too long ago to remember.
