This is one of the most delicious, quick and easy desserts that I have made. It disappears quickly and people always request the recipe.

I took this pie to a church ash Wednesday church dinner and was gone in minutes. Several people asked for the recipe so it must have been good. Didn't even get to taste it myself so I guess I'll have to make another one.
