ingredients

Crust

Pie Filling
- 4 eggs, slightly beaten

- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 (13 ounce) cans evaporated milk
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons maple flavoring
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua, i tasted at this point and thought it was good (or more ,)
directions
- In a food processor combine your dry ingredients including spices. Pulse a few times to mix. (You don't have to add the spices, but I like to flavor my crusts to match what it's holding -- kinda kicks up the pie.) You can taste it at this point to decide if it needs more spices -- depends on personal preference.
- Add fat in cubes and pulse until you have coarse crumbs.
- Add your water 1 tbl. at a time. Pulse just until the dough is moist enough to hold together when pressed.
- Shape into a flattened ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minute or until you are ready for it.
- On a lightly floured surface and roll from center to edge into an 11 inches circle.
- Fold it in half and carefully place in the pie dish. Do not stretch or it will shrink in the oven. Trim (or do a fancy edge) Set aside and mix up filling.
- Preheat oven to 425
- Mix all ingredients together in the order listed.
- Divide between the 2 shells
- Bake at 425 for 15 minutes
- Lower heat to 350 and bake for an add'l 45 minutes or until the center is set and toothpick comes out clean
- Cool completely.

I live in N. Az.(no it's not hot here!) I'm a stay at home mom who loves to cook and bake. I really love desserts. I enjoy personalizing recipes I come across. I think of it as my ministry to my family. I'd have to say I love to watch Alton Brown on Food Network as well as many other shows. I feel he is the best teacher though.
