I usually would want more of anything that's good, but I'm staying with my Dad who will gobble this up and I was thinking the less around at one time the better for his arteries!

a resounding thanks for the recipe- I made it for Thanksgiving (last year) and it was delicious. mmmmm.

and Storme: yes, you could make one pie, but WHO WANTS JUST ONE PIE? :)

Interesting, I've never heard of this. What does the vinegar do?

Did you, by chance, use the "Vodka Pie Crust" recipe from CI that you mentioned in an earlier post? I used it this Thanksgiving for all of my 12 pies (yeah, I know!) and it was the BEST crust I've ever worked with or tasted... Easy (even for the "pastry challenged")to prepare, more simple to work with than the store-bought refrigerated type, and tastier than "old fashioned" crust. It just doesn't get any better!

Happy Holidays!

My Mimi (Grandma) makes something similar in a mini form called taffy tarts. I've been told this recipe is from our french canadian ancestry.

I was watching the Food Network and they stated the two most popular pies, for Thanksgiving, are pumpkin and apple!! Not so much down here. In Texas its pumpkin and pecan pie, which is very tasty and looks alot like this pie with out the top crust. looks yummy. well give it a try. Prehaps closer to Christmas...were all pied out over here.

I suppose if I had to admit it, I'd say I like pie OK, but I'm a cake girl. I'm even writing a book about it (for Simon & Schuster, even!), but I may look to you for your thoughts on pie v. cake, if that's OK.

Meantime, I tagged you. It's totally optional, of course, but I do like your blog and will put you in my bookmarks so that I can keep up. I'm not martha, either. Who is? Except Martha.

I have never heard of this pie...do you know anything else about the backstory? I love all of that stuff.

But MOST importantly, it looks really tasty! I'm so bookmarking this baby.

Storme - Yes, you won't throw off any balances by cutting the recipe in half.

Krista and The Queen - Oh, thanks, I'd never heard of sugar tarts before. I think I'll have to research the family tree of all these pies.

i was going to say that this reminds me of my mom's butter tart pie... and i'm also from Canada originally. just reading the ingredient list is making me hungry, i'll have to do some baking later today.

Here's an older entry about osgood pie in which she posted a side-on view. I've made it and it's very good.

Any chance you've saved a piece so we can get a side-on slided view? Just want to see what the inside looks like, the outside looks beautiful!

It's weird, where i come from we call this pecan sugar pie and everyone eats it everywhere, cuz it's available everywhere. Kind of like butter tarts. Did I mention I'm from Canada? :)
p.s-totally in love with you site, but not in a i'm-stalking-you-way.
