It took some research after selecting several options, I discovered the history of the original recipe.
I love researching recipes and it's a bonus when I can discover the history. This one has a great story. It all started in Grand Rivers, Kentucky in 1977. The rest is Culinary History.
Sawdust Pie Story~
The year was 1977 and in a town of less than 300 people it would be very hard to get the word out about a small town Hamburger and Ice Cream Parlor. Patti and Bill never knew when the publicity would pay off. Just like when they got a letter from Bon Appetit asking for the recipe for Patti's "Sawdust Pie." Normally Patti did not give out recipes but decided she would make an exception with her favorite pie. It was Patti's first published recipe (Bon Appetit, May 1983).
