Reviews
We happened upon Al's Oasis 18 years ago on our honeymoon. The restaurant came highly recommended by the hotel staff where we stayed. We even bought several pies to bring back to the staff. They were so helpful and went over and above what is expected at a Comfort Inn. Anyway, we lived the pie so much, we stopped on our way back through to get more. I found this recipe and was thrilled. Have been making it ever since for our anniversary. Our neighbors also love it!
This pie is delicious. Made it for years somehow misplaced recipe. This morning reading about it in "South Dakota Magazine". Making it now. Nice texture, tart, sweet, cool, creamy. Perfect dessert.
