It’s never too early to start thinking about holiday baking. Today, I wanted to share with you a recipe that is very near-and-dear to my heart. I first ate this simple tart several years ago at the Plymouth Plantation in Massachusetts, and it’s an old recipe the Pilgrims used! The best part: It’s easily customizable. And I promise the aroma alone will get your household in a festive mood. This pie always reminds me of how blessed I am, and I hope your family has a wonderful end of the year as we head into the holiday season.
