  1. This wasn't included but I always add a touch more cloves than it calls for. I also don't use the whole can of evaporated milk. I leave about 1/6 of the can. This is recipe is easy because it's the Crisco pie crust recipe and the Libby's pie filling. So if you ever need a recipe, just look at the back of the can for a recipe.
