To me, this colorful pie is the epitome of summer. Bright blueberries and raspberries sandwich a cream cheese layer in the pie that's quite festive. I can't imagine a holiday party without this tasty treat! -Cindy Zarnstorff, Anchorage, Alaska

I'm not usually a fan of fruit pies, but this one was really good. The crust was flaky and the filling was sweet and tart. I'll definitely be making this again.
