Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Eyal's Great-Grandma, Joyce Sachter, was a WHIZ in the kitchen. Everything she made was delicious (and of course made with love). This is one of her signature recipes and one of our family's favorites. Grandma Joyce would make this pie for holidays, special celebrations and whenever one of her grandkids or great-grandkids would bat their eyes and ask her to please make her wonderful pie. Eyal's sister, Liat, now makes this pie regularly, at the request of the entire extended family. We always think about Grandma Joyce as we are enjoying this delicious dessert.
