Grandma knows she doesn't have to pull out all the stops when it comes to dessert... she just doesn't need to! With her classic Grandma's Butterscotch Pie, she only needs one stop on the sweetness express. The filling is a creamy, luscious butterscotch pudding, sweet, buttery, and rich, with notes of that smoky brown sugar goodness. A flaky pie crust on the bottom only adds to the buttery beauty. Grandma's Butterscotch Pie is all you need for a homespun and happy treat!
