The attractive pie, with its fresh fruit flavor and flaky crust, is my mom's signature dessert. She has perfected the recipe over the years. Served with a dollop of whipped cream, this is a dessert you'll serve again and again. -Daria Burcar Rochester, Michigan

I made this pie over the weekend with extra strawberries from my garden and my family loved it. Would high recommend it. I am having company this weekend and plan on baking another.
