"This is an AWESOME recipe! I take it to most pot-lucks that I go to and everyone raves about it. I am not very good at rolling out pie crust to begin with, and do have some problems getting this mon..." See morester crust on this, but I have solved the problem by making a little extra dough, so I don't have to roll it out so thin. I also add about a teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg and a dash of cloves for a little extra flavor. There is way too much frosting for my taste, so I cut the frosting in half, drizzle it, and then add a few sprinkels of cinnamon sugar before the frosting sets."

"This is one super recipe. It is difficult to roll all that pastry for a large pan so I usually use 2 - 8 inch square pans and that makes life a lot easier...." See more"
