Can you help me make my husband an old fashion Carmel Pie?

My husband is from Tennessee and his favorite Pie is Carmel. His house burned down when he was a teenager and his mother died and no one seems to have the receipe. I am sure it was the old fashion kind made from scratch. But, I am not sure if it is a carmel pie as he remembers or it is a carmel custard. Nevertheless, I will be thankful for all to find the closest one I can get.

I would like to bake this for him for his Valentine's Day present. I know it is difficulty to bring back the taste of our memories but I believe someone has this receipe! Please help! I will be eternally grateful to find one.

    O'Charley's-Like Caramel Pie

    2 cans (14 oz. each) sweetened condensed milk

    1 tsp. vanilla extract

    1 graham cracker crust

    8 oz. whipping cream

    Sugar to sweeten whipping cream

    Remove tops from cans and boil the 2 cans of condensed milk in boiling water for 3 to 4 hours, stirring often. Maintain a water level approximately 3/4 of the way to top of the can. When milk is thoroughly caramelized, remove from the heat and pour into a mixing bowl, scraping all of the milk from the cans. Add vanilla and blend until free of lumps. Pour into a graham cracker crust. Chill for several hours. Top with whipped cream which has been sweetened with a little sugar. Refrigerate until ready to serve and store in the refrigerator.
