Yum-O! My mouth was watering the entire time! I must try this out soon! By the way, thanks for the address labels for Miss Haddee!
i trust that you'll leave the nuts out next time so i can have some.....(insert crossed fingers here!)!!
Looks fabulous, I'll have to bookmark that recipe. There's a pie kitchen here in Louisville that serves homemade apple pie with a layer of caramel icing on top - and yes, it is as sinful as it sounds!
Mrs. Miller was one of my favorite Chi O advisors in college! I'll have to try her recipe (sans nuts for me too Liz!).
