This yummy pie is one I will make and keep frozen on hand to serve guests after summer barbecues or Mexican fiestas. For less intense cinnamon flavor and my family's preference, I recommend including only 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon in the filling. I used an 8-ounce container of "Light" frozen whipped topping to help reduce the fat and calories. Also, a full half cup of melted butter was not necessary in the crust. I did, however, place the formed crust into my freezer for 15 minutes before filling it. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us and best of luck in the contest!

<p>I'm a brand new single mommy to my tiny perfect human, so thank you to everyone who takes the time to make and review my recipes - I try to send a zmail to each of you, but baby girl has a different idea.</p>
<p>I'm a good ol' prairie girl from Canada with one side of the family being Ukrainian/Slovakian and the other side is German/Russian. In other words, when we cook we take carbs, cover them in more carbs, fry'em and serve it smothered in onions and cream. <br />No pro chefs in my family, just grandmas and aunts and cousins and a mom that had me pinching perogies and stuffing strudel before I could form a complete sentence. <br />The most dreaded / laughed at phrase I say is, So last night, I invented this thing for supper... - I would probably publish more recipes if I actually remembered everything I put in or had an idea of how much I added!!</p>
