This pie will definitely go on my list of pot lucks, church dinners & family gatherings. The time it takes to prepare this, is WELL WORTH the effort. Rewarding in appearance, smell & TASTE!!! Yummy!!!

Definitely company-worthy! Served it with vanilla ice cream to my guests. It was fantastic. I'm adding it to my Thanksgiving dessert menu.
