This was a pie recipe that was introduced by a friend of mine when I used to live in Southern California. There, she shared this secret recipe with myself, and our other circle of friends. We all would take turns baking it-because it was super easy to make and bake! The taste is out of this world-not too sweet, but yet not too bitter. It will be gone in seconds if you bring this to work-trust me (smile). Now, I googled this recipe and found out that it wasn't such a secret after all-it's all over google! It's a southern Kentucky Derbie Pie recipe! Who knew? My friend was Chinese (wink), and she loved country music more than southern girls did!
Now during this Christmas season-we all need more time for cooking and baking goodies for our loved ones. Thus, this is made with love and very quickly! I hope you get yourself in a good Christmas southern style mood and try it out!
*Pie Shell-I made from scratch this time, for the first time! But all the other previous times I used a 9-inch unbaked ready to bake vanilla crust. Graham is okay-but try to stick with the vanilla if it's available.
Okay. Ready? Set. Here!

Mixing it all together thoroughly for about 2-4 minutes
9-inch Pie shell made from scratch or to save time buy a pre-made unbaked 9-inch vanilla crust pie shell
Ready to be baked for 35-40 minutes @ 350 degrees
Voila! Cool it on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. No need to refigerate. Warning-if you take this to work-it will be gone super fast..from seconds to just under an hour. So be sure you get a slice, too! If it's for the next day, warm up a slice in microwave for 10 seconds and serve with vanilla iced cream. Drool!
