Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This pie is great! My husband made it for me for my birthday, and everyone loved it. I rarely have seconds on dessert, but I went back for more on this one. I was a little worried when I tasted some excess filling straight (I'd recommend a deep pie dish if you have one), and it seemed very booze-forward. But after sitting overnight (as recommended) and blending with the other flavors, it was well-balanced and very easy to eat.

    I LOVE this pie. I made it for my own birthday this year. I can't even express in words the flavor combo, you just have to make it.
