I had another version of this and lost it. Made this recipe and my entire family raved about it. I love the flavor that the rum adds to the pie. SO far I have made 4 pies and given them to my family and they love it!

Oh Yeah!!! This pie is wonderful. It went together real easy and it makes a huge pie. I was beginning to wonder if it was all going to go into my deep dish pie shell, but it did. I didn't have any rum extract, so I just put in a little coconut rum.....YUM!!!! I recommend this pie to everyone.
