Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! My mother used to make this and I have been searching for the recipe for awhile. So very happy I finally found it.
This pie is a childhood memory of mine also. I am great for supporting fund raisers with buying their cookbooks. This was in a cookbook "Down By The Old Millstream" in Findlay Ohio. That song of long ago was written in Findlay Ohio.
