"Enjoy while warm if possible and share." Ma Hannah

Ma made her own pie crusts, but Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crusts are great!

** Please use Butter only! It is so much tastier than margarine and now they tell us Butter in moderation is actually nutritionally healthier for us than regular margarine. Soft margarine will not work in this recipe.
