Rosa's pie


This pie makes my heart sing for two reasons:
1. It is completely, ridiculously delicious.
2. It reminds me of the amazing months that my friend Rosa and I shared while she was here in New Haven for a semester.

Everyone should have a friend like Rosa.  And everyone should eat this pie.  I have to share it.  Its just too good not to. In fact, I suggest to go and make it, right this minute.  I'm going to.  And then email me, and we can talk more about how amazing Rosa and her pie are.

This sounds DELISH and perfect for the fall that I'm missing...I will definitely be making it soon...if I can find the ingredients. Missing pumpkin spice lattes, cinnamon, cider, the changing leaves and all of the glory that fall brings. Thanks for sharing this gem.
