Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light. If you don’t have margarine, unsalted butter is a great substitute. To prevent the pie from getting too runny, ensure your flour is well mixed with the sugar before adding the wet ingredients. This pie is simple yet delicious, making it a great addition to any gathering alongside American recipes like Cherry Jell-O Salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pie warm or at room temperature, and consider pairing it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. It also complements well with fresh fruit or a scoop of strawberry sorbet. For a delightful contrast, serve alongside a refreshing Fresh Fruit Tart.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place slices in a microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through. This will help maintain its delightful texture and flavor.
