I found this recipe on the Southern Living website and am so glad to see it posted here! This pie is FABULOUS! While it does take some time to make (most of that is chilling/standing time), it is worth it. The pie is very creamy and would be great without the caramel top but the caramel topping really makes the pie. I served with the leftover whipped cream ~ YUM! This would be a great addition to anyone's holiday meal! Thanks for posting!!!
