Delicious -- a little bit of work, but not ridiculously hard, and totally worth the steps. I used 1 tsp of cinnamon in the sugar mixture and accidentally used all of it on the crust instead of saving some for the top -- still turned out great, though . Made this as one of our Thanksgiving desserts and it disappeared VERY quickly! :) -
Saw this in a magazine. Thought I'd give it a try. As can be seen by the ingredients & directions, it is not a quickly-made pie. But the outcome is well worth it. Delicious! I actually liked it even better at room temp. It's a wonderful post. Thanks. -
My kids love the cookie version so i made this recipe and both my kids and husband said this was a hit.
