💡 Cook's Notes
People loved the crusty Demerara sugar touch as much as anything - good crunch. This is also not as sweet as a Karo syrup pie. Remember to plan ahead: this pie needs to sit in a warm oven for 3 hours after baking. A PDF of this recipe with photo is in the recipes collection in Documents/FOOD folder.
