Very good! Family loved it. At first, the amount of spice seemed a bit strong to me, but afterward it seemed to be the right amount. I would definitely make this again, I think it would be good with different kinds of fruit in the bottom, changing the spices to suit. This was the first time I made a lattice-top pie and it turned out great! I added a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top for a bit of crunch. Made for PAC spring '08.

I am a constant baker, always trying a new recipe or creating one of my own. I have been baking and cooking ever since I can remember, my earliest memories being those of cooking with my mom. My cookbook file is full of generations of handwritten pages passed down from mother to daughter. Recipes aren't about ingredients and how to, rather they are memories of people and times that have made me who I am.
