STRAWBERRY APPLE PIE

Strawberry Apple Pie image

Dianne Ebke of Plymouth, Nebraska was baking an apple pie for dinner at her in-laws, when she ran short of apples at the last minute. "I substituted strawberries for the rest of the apples and didn't tell anyone," she recalls. "But that pie was such a hit, I've been making it ever since!"
