I know this recipe has been around for a long time. I have never tried it, because I didn't think that it would taste like apple pie. I will give it a try. It just doesn't sound like it would be very good. I will make it for my family and not tell them what is in it and see if they can tell the difference.

My mother used to make this pie when I was growing up, and we always thought we were getting a real apple pie.
