"I'm a bad Southerner -- I don't like country music or raisin pie, but this one might change my mind. Recipe from "Famous Dave's Backroads and Side Streets" cookbook, which has some incredible recipes. The baking time seems a little long at that temperature, so if you make it before I do, please include that detail in your review."
