Derby Pie (All FA, unless noted otherwise).

1.5% Nut Mix
1.0% Vanilla Bourbon
0.5% Brown Sugar (TFA)
0.5% Marshmallow (CAPS)
0.5% Vanilla Classic
0.5% Cocoa
0.5% Fresh Cream
0.5% KY Bourbon (TFA)
1.5% Apple Pie
0.5% Cookie

This is normally made with Pecans, but I don't have a Pecan flavoring. Butterscotch or Caramel could be nice substitutions for anything you don't care for. HeadInClouds taught the ingenious trick of mixing FA Apple Pie with a touch of Cookie for a nice pie crust, without lending the flavor of apple in your mix. I realize TFA has that flavor, but it contains the bad stuffs I'm trying to move away from.

This was pretty good, but strong tasting after 4 hours at 150 degrees in a crock pot. About 2 weeks later, it mellowed out quite a bit and the flavors blended nicely, I think.

Lots of ingredients, I know...... hope you enjoy!

I keep coming back to look at this. Since Bourbon (which I don't have) is a whiskey, and I have FA Whiskey, I looked for pie recipes with nuts and whiskey. Makers Mark has a maple liqueur whiskey, and I saw recipes using it with walnuts in a pie. Merging that recipe with yours would give one with walnut, vanilla, brown sugar/molasses/maple syrup, whiskey, and the apple-pie-cookie crust. Even if apple did "show through" (probably would, because of the Walnut), it would be interesting. Just thinking out loud..

(oops! I meant to post this in the other thread where you posted it - sorry! Guess it's not too far out of place here, so I'll leave it)
