Mildred Everett’s version of Amaretto Pie has cream cheese and a hint of coconut flavor. She credits her sister-in-law, Jo Everett, who shared it often – “different but it sure is good. Her daughters and family always liked it.”
A. Cookston of Dunlap sent the same recipe, “given me several years ago by a friend, which was given her by another friend who worked at one time at Mount Vernon Restaurant. I couldn’t prove this to be the Mount Vernon recipe. However, it is an excellent pie.”
