I can say that I was a Hoosier before I even moved to Indiana, for this is one my most favorite pies.
When I lived in Colorado, I met a wonderful friend who is an Indiana native. She made this pie for every holiday gathering her family had, and of course we were always invited. I loved her pie, I looked forward to it every time we would fellowship. She shared her recipe with me, and showed me how to assemble it, exactly how her mother and grandmother would have made at their farm kitchens. I can just about imagine this made with fresh cream.....truly a comfort food!
Now, there are many variations to this pie. I don't care for some, for they mix all ingredients together and the pie is heavy and gooey. This recipe has a more light texture with a delicious buttery flavor in the end of every bite.
If you would like some more information about this recipe, the link below is very interesting.
