You're quite welcome. I'm glad this went over so well, Melissa. And your MIL asking for the recipe - wow!
I wonder if the whole food quirk thing is a question on places like eHarmony:
True or False: I have a lot of food quirks.
True of False: Other people's food quirks drive me nuts.
If not, maybe it should be.

Also, it seemed to me more of a cofee cake than a pie.
Hmm. I never thought about it like that. It doesn't have a distinct top and bottom crust - rather sort of crust all through - so I guess I can kind of see that.

Is that what Norwegian apple pies are like? Just curious... 
I don't know. As far as I can remember my grandmother - who was actually from Norway - never made a pie - or a cake either. She made peanut butter cookies (call me crazy but I'm thinking that's not a traditional Norwegian dish); she made butterscotch pudding (I have her "from scratch" recipe although as she got older - she lived well into her 90s - she found the Jello brand package mix to be just fine); and she made the best rice pudding I have ever had in my life - that actually had what seems to be a Norwegian name (gooma - I have no idea if the spelling is right). Sadly, no recipe for her rice pudding has been passed down.

BTW, as a bizarre sidenote here, I always read everyone's comments for any tips/suggestions before trying a recipe. I read in flat mode, and at the end was a post by Casey (atomic rose) with the subject Nope...I could't figure out what she was responding to, so went to threaded mode and it disappears! Isn't that weird? 
Oh, yeah. Casey's response seems to be missing its parent post. I have this vague memory of someone posting that they wanted to leave out the flour and Casey responding, but the post about leaving out the flour is missing. I guess in flat mode it doesn't matter but in threaded mode there's no parent post for Casey's response to be attached to.
I think there are some indexing oddities on the Board anyhow. I was looking at all the posts for someone - I'm pretty sure it was ShelbyJean - and they all said "*Deleted*" but a little later I was looking at a thread and there was a post by ShelbyJean that wasn't deleted - and wasn't in her list of posts.
I know there was some big Board problem quite a while back. I wonder if there was some data damage that didn't get completely fixed.
Anyhow, I'm really glad you liked the Norwegian Apple Pan Pie. I'll be visiting the woman who gave me the recipe in January and I'll be sure to let her know it was a big hit.
Have a very happy, healthy New Year!
