Mahy
This pie reminds me of warm days... I used to have one when I was little, and it was always great! 🙂
Debbie
If I make a Batch of the homemade sugar cones, is that enough for a pie? Can I bake the batter in a single layer and just crush it up?
Kristin
Hi Debbie, based on the homemade sugar cone recipe, I think you will need a double batch to have enough for the pie. And I don't see any reason why you can't bake the batter in a single layer and then just crush it up. That should work well! Let me know how it turns out! 🙂
Theresa
I made this today in a 9 inch pie pan and still had enough filling for 2 pies! Tastes delicious tho!
Kristin
Oh wow! I guess my pie pan is deeper than most! I will look into that a little further and then tweak the recipe if needed. Thanks for that feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
