Finding this recipe was like being a kid on Christmas morning. I recently made it for my mother in law’s birthday, after finding the recipe handwritten by my dad, in the back of my moms old recipe book. This book is a memory, as is seeing anything in my dads handwriting. This was my dads favorite dessert, and bringing it to life again is as exciting as it gets. I hope you find as much joy in making (and eating) it as I did.

    Butter pie dish and sprinkle with flour. Spread crust over dish. Pat down and sprinkle with flour lightly.
