Happy Derby Day

Happy Derby Day Everyone 

Here in Kentucky the Derby is huge. We take two weeks fill it with activities like Thunder over Louisville, The Ballon Glow and much more. Then finish with the famous horse race known as The Kentucky Derby. But, for many locals we dont actually go to the Derby. We go to the Kentucky Oaks. This is the day before then on saturday we will have or go to a Derby party. One of the traditional Recipes at these parties and the Derby is a Derby Pie. Now this recipe varies depending on where you get it I choose to post the one I like the best. This pie recipe is similar to the Melrose Inn's famous version which has been served at the race for over 50 years.
