I clipped this recipe out of a magazine thirty years ago when I was a new bride and have been making it on and off ever since. The cookie crust is delicious. It calls for the pie to be made in a Foley pie pan but Foley does not make it any longer. There are other manufacturers that make this style pan e.g. Chicago Metallics and Winco, but you can use a traditional glass or aluminum pie plate/pan. I used pecans in my crust. Enjoy!

HI CARMIE,

You're welcome. If you decide to make and bring it to your party, I hope it's a big hit.

My family loves this and I think it's because the crust does not get soggy. This curiorecipes.com site is excellent if you have forgotten or lost a recipe from the past.
