100% would make again

When I worked full-time and needed a quick dessert to take to a potluck or a friend's home, this pie was always the answer. You can substitute a graham cracker crust or use another type of fruit pie filling for a change of pace. Even the chilling time is flexible if you're in a big hurry. -Mary Smith Bradenton, Florida

Simply Delicious!!! Great, Fast, and Easy. I highly recommend you try this recipe. This one is a keeper. The only problem is the pie was gone so fast! ;)
