Classic Jefferson Davis Pie

If you've never heard of or tasted Classic Jefferson Davis Pie, then you're really missing out on one of the best Southern dessert recipes. This long-forgotten pie combines warm flavors (like cinnamon and nutmeg) to create a delicious variation of your traditional chess pie. It's the dried fruit, however, that really makes this pie special as it adds a lot of flavor and texture to the custard pie filling. Instead of being included in the custard filling, the dried fruit and nuts have their own layer which allows you to appreciate their flavors better. One bite of this pie and you'll be a fan.
