This recipe is made to accompany Almond Cookie Cups with Sauternes-poached Apples and Frozen Sauternes Mousse

Pies are probably the most popular dessert in Lancaster. Brown sugar and sweet potato are among the many ingredients used in fillings.

Great with grilled chicken, tuna, salmon, swordfish or shrimp.
