Dixie Pie

Are you ready for my favorite pie recipe?  I grew up eating this pie at a local (now defunct) restaurant in my area called Tippin's.  Anybody?  My family and I used to go there after church when I was a kid and we almost always saw people we knew from our church there.  Ah, those were the days!  Well, Tippin's went out of business and, while you can still buy their pies at one of our local grocery stores, I prefer to make my own!  I have this recipe written on a recipe card so I have no idea where it came from!  Be forewarned, this is NOT, I repeat, NOT a low cal recipe.  Not at all.  In fact, one piece of this pie contains more calories than I normally consume at lunch or dinner daily!  That said, you need to make it.  It needs to be on your Thanksgiving menu.  It needs a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and it must be warm when you serve it!  Enjoy!
