Amish Brown Sugar Pie

This is an old Amish recipe, also called "Tears on Your Pillow Pie," that I have made for years. I have adapted the recipe as the original was for a fire-powered oven. It's one of my most requested pies. Store in refrigerator but for best taste allow to reach room temperature before serving.
