Colleen Gentleman Minturn

Some of the Dineen Girls (Marne, Elizabeth and Claire) and their husbands and families spent summers in Minnesota at a place called "Bert and Hatties". This pie was served there and my mom (Marne) passed it on to me. As newly married's, my husband complimented me on it, so for a whole year I baked it every Sunday for him, 'til he finally got the courage to ask me if I had any other recipes for pie!
