MAPLE PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Maple Peanut Butter Pie image

Maple nut goodies have been a favorite candy of mine since I was a child, and I think the flavors taste just as great in a pie! This pie freezes well, too-just take it out to thaw 30 minutes before serving. -Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, Colorado
