All most forgot to post my April Fools Pie! I took a picture and need to post it.
This one turned out very nice.
I also blogged last year about this pie with the recipe. So I'll copy and paste it here. LOL! This has been our family tradition!

Just out of curiousity, what does this taste like? LOL It sure looks yummy!
It tastes like apple pie. Most people don't ask until I tell them there are no apples in it. I've been asked if applesauce is in it?
No Apples of any form. Too good though.
