This is another of those recipes I found somewhere or other and tweaked to make it my own. This recipe makes enough for two pies. As I was baking these pies yesterday, the UPS man rang my doorbell, which he doesn’t usually do. He said he just wanted to tell me the smells coming from my house were “super amazing.” Here’s to a holiday season filled with good smells and good foods.
