I know last Tuesday was Pi Day (and I posted a recipe then, too), but we had more than one pie. Instead of keeping this pie recipe until next year, I decided to follow up pie with more pie. :)
Because, really, is there such a thing as too much pie?
Okay, there probably is. But still, two great pie recipes in a month ain't a bad thing!
