My husband came-m while the pje was bak ing and said it smelled just like his Mother’s so I asked him if it looked like hers and he told me there should be a top crust. So I hurried and mixed a Crumb Crust .as the pie was already half baked and covered the pie with that Well it turned out per fect.
