I found this recipe years ago when I was on a low carb diet. It was so delicious that is was enjoyed by everyone. We stayed overnight at our son's home that Thanksgiving and what was left of this pie was stored in a cooler on his deck. Even the racoonns thought it was wonderful and they weren't on a low carb diet! Carbs-5.2 grams per serving (1/10 of pie)
