Fruit Pie
Great summer dessert

Bake 2 pie shells
Mix 8oz. pkg. cream cheese-soft
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
Smooth over cooled pie shells
Slice 6 cups fresh fruit [strawberries,grapes,peaches,
bananas,pears etc]
Layer fruit in design. I start at outer side of the shell and start laying out the desserts around the pie
and end up in the middle. I usually make a circle around the pie with the same fruit, then start the next circle with a new fruit.

Mix 2/3 cup apple juice [I buy the juice boxes]& 2 teaspoon corn starch
Microwave 2-2 1/2 min. Stir each min.

Pour over fruit. I use lemon juice on the fruit that will turn color

This is such a delicious and simple dessert. My husband can eat a pie in 1 session.
