From shine 16 years ago
- 50 minutes to make
- Serves 8
I submit this recipe in the form that it was given to me by some friends. I was introduced to this pie at Thanksgiving several years ago, and is a favorite to pull out and blow peoples minds with! I have a new version using essential oils posted on my fledgling website/blog that incorporates some changes that makes it even more outrageous-- imagine this with a rum-cinnamon crust and cream cheese in the filling.

Is this Bookbinders as in Philadelphia? Used to pass by there almost every day when I lived on my way to classes. Thanks for posting this, Ray!

Sounds like a delicious apple pie to me - and pretty as well. I like the sour cream add to the filling. Your alternate version sounds good, too. Thanks for sharing...
