Made this delicious pie for my Hubby's B-day. This is one of his favorite pies and it turned out perfectly - loved all of the layering. I finished off the tiny bit of leftover custard in the pan and it brought back so many memories of my Mom's custard that she made for banana pudding. Definitely a keeper of a recipe and one I will make often. This recipe is going into my Best of 2017 file. : ) Thank you for sharing one of your treasured recipes. : )
