"I love this! This recipe was a $2,000.00 winner in the 38th Pillsbury Bake-Off in 1998. I wasn't sure how my co-workers would like it but it was gone before 11am when I took it to work. Such a great blend of flavors. Of course you could use your own favorite pie crust recipe if you've got a knack with crust. I've included the 1/2 hour cooling time in the prep time."

This recipe was so easy to make and tastes very good to boot-so five stars from me( and my hubby)! I made it just as directed exceptI didn't have any rum on hand, so I used imitation rum flavor, but halved the amount called for, and it was delicious!Went to liquor store today while out just to buy a bottle of rum to have on hand to make it again! Thank You ReeLani!

Yum-o. My 19 year old son mad this for our Christmas Eve dessert. It's easy as pie (Ha,ha). We did leave out the nuts, my picky daughter wouldn't have eaten any. She loved it without the nuts. Her boyfriend had never had Bananas Foster and asked for the recipe for his mom to make.
