    Made two pies, one to test and one to make for my mother for her birthday. Tried it and loved it! Just keep it in the oven for about 10-15 minutes longer, also the bourbon is not over powering and my sister didn't even notice. If anything I add just a little bit more.

    Lawrence, KS is in Douglas County and there used to be a restaurant, Paradise Cafe, that made a most wonderful Douglas County pie. When I saw this recipe, I couldn't wait to make it to surprise my daughter and son in law who really miss the restaurant and the pie. Their pie contained chocolate so I added 1 cup of mini bittersweet chocolate chips to your recipe. Also, I used Jack Daniels (Tennessee Sippin' Whiskey instead of bourbon. It tasted exactly like the Douglas County pie. They were so thrilled they ate it all in two days!! Certainly a winner I will share with others who miss Paradise!!

    Delicious! I cut the Bourbon in half so not to overpower that rest of the flavors and it was to die for!
