My favorite memory of my Grandmothers cooking was "Stacked Pie."

In her pie safe, space was limited so she baked pies and stacked them together as cake layers. Three to six pies were baked with shallow fillings and then stacked and sliced like a cake. Sometimes she used icing to keep them together.

My favorite was pumpkin, cherry and apple, which she called Cherpumple. Other combinations were cherry, coconut and raspberry. The interplay of taste and texture was out of this world.

Use your favorite pie recipe to make stack pies. Of course you could make all one flavor, but where's the fun in that.

Personal Notes:
If you don't know what a pie safe was, you missed a great place for goodies.
This is where left overs were stored until the next meal, a cabinet with metal inserts in the doors with punched out designs to allow air to circulate.

Great to open it up and see the goodies stored in there, especially on weekends.
