Kentucky Style Pie Recipe

Bake a Kentucky Style Pie to keep horse racing traditions alive. Kentucky Style Pie has been a staple of the races since the early 1950s when it was first served in a small restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky. Add your own special touch by serving the pie warm, and accenting each piece with a scoop of rich vanilla ice-cream and whipped cream.
