Another of my English Grandmas. My mom asked me to make her one for her 91st birthday. This is a very old recipe dating back to colonial times. Transporting multiple pies to social functions and storage was a challenge . so they stacked. Upon cutting .. Cut thin slices. Its very rich and makes Paula Dean seem like a butter...

This pie is very rich and very yummy. Most people only cut a small sliver at a time due to it's richness. I don't make this often-it's addictive.
