Susan Finlay, of Lucedale, Mississippi, sends a recipe that her mother-in-law used for years.

Susan writes, “This recipe has a different twist – it makes its own crust – but it is oh so simple. My mother-in-law Bernice used to take this pie to older sick folks. She has since passed on, so I thought passing along her recipe would keep her memory alive.”
