After completing a year of cookies and a year of cakes, it’s time to tackle the pie community. Pie is known as the most American dessert, thus the saying “as American as apple pie”. Once a week, I will hang out in my kitchen with recipe in hand and utensils nearby, to fill my pie plate with hopefully something delicious. Travel with me throughout this year on this pie adventure. Rolling pin, get ready to roll! It will be “as easy as pie!”

Pie Recipe #16 - Million Dollar Pie
Not sure if I would call this recipe "Million Dollar Pie", but since I don't know what a million dollars tastes like, I guess I'm not exactly a good judge. On the other hand, if there is no chocolate in the mix, I have my doubts :). This is simple to make and is light and fluffy with chunks of fruit floating throughout. Remember-this makes 2 pies; for one, cut ingredients in half.
Ingredients: 1 (14 ounce)can sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (or 1 1/3 cup of whipping cream, whipped), 1 (20 ounce can crushed pineapple, drained, 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained, 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling, 2 (9 inch) graham cracker crusts.
Instructions: In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk and lemon juice. Fold in whipped topping, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, mix together pineapple, oranges and cherry pie filling. Gently fold mixture into condensed milk mixture.
Pour entire mixture into pie crusts. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Other recipes I observed included ingredients such as nuts and coconut. Add other (drained) fruit, if desired.
"As easy as pie!"
