This is the perfect summer dessert. The pie uses some of our favorite, plentiful fruits and the crust couldn’t be easier. This is always a hit on the dessert buffet that we serve nightly and, if you’d like, the crust will serve as the “host” for other fruits as well.
One of my very favorite cookbooks is where this was found: “For Goodness Taste” from The Rochester Junior League.
