Linda is my next door neighbor. When we moved into the neighborhood (East Tennessee), her husband would bring fresh eggs from his chickens, and I would return the gift with something I cooked from the eggs. He loves his wife's (Linda) pie. So much so, that he eats one whole pie at one sitting--all by himself. She makes one for us now and always delivers it hot out of the oven. She is a humble lady that say's, "It always puffs up so pretty and then falls after I take it out of the oven." It's sweet and yummy, and, I think a custard pie is supposed to fall.
