Recipe Introduction


I created this pie in honor of Governor Branstad when he appointed me to Iowa's Rural Health and Primary Care Committee. After the appointment, I asked for his favorite pie flavors and then created this just for him. But, it's soooo good. I'm sure he won't mind if I share it with you, too.
