It actually tastes like apple pie, but uses ingredients that you always have on hand so dessert can be made without going shopping. Also, it reminds me of my childhood when my Mother used to make this pie and serve it with homemade ice cream. Yummmmmmmmmm -
was a little messy in the oven, but tasted just like apple pie!
