Thank you for sharing this recipe, my mother use to make this pie and brings back fond memories.
Thank you for this recipe! I used to make it myself, and loved it!
I have been searching for this recipe for years! It was the first recipe I found on my own and prepared on my own when I was about 13 years old. Thank you!!!
My Mom made this pie hundreds of times from h 1950’s. It was a treasured dessert. She had the recipe cut from the side of the Nabisco box. I still make it.
The recipe had NO flour and used melted butter not shortening. It may have said margarine in the
early days.
Posted on this earlier. Original had NO cinnamon but it is a nice addition.
