Notes

  • Tip 1: Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. The flavors will continue to meld over time.
  • Tip 2: While it's best fresh, you can freeze the pie before adding the toppings. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before serving.
  • Tip 3: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess.
  • Tip 4: Try using other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a different twist!
  • Tip 5: Experiment with different toppings like chopped nuts or coconut for a unique flavor.
