*recipe inspired and adapted from Soul Food blog.
I was so excited to bake something and found a great recipe that fit the bill!
Oh yes, this was quite delicious and I wish there were some left...
but it has been gobbled up!
This pie was even better on day 2.
I don't know how that's possible,
but I swear it's true!
It's like the sugars and the juices from the berries
just got sweeter and more flavorful!
I never refrigerate my fruit pies.
I feel like it changes the taste.
Cold pie is for pudding and pumpkin...
not apple, cherry and berry!

I just cover them and leave them on the counter
