Loading...This is one of many versions of a traditional Mennonite fruit dessert. It is an easy recipe, tastes much like pie, and good served hot or cold with ice cream or cream. It is excellent for dessert or coffee time on a lazy sunday afternoon. The fruit filling can be any fruit that you wish to use…just like pie! Again, it is one of my favorites!

DOUGH:
3 c. flour (can use up to half whole wheat or whole grain)

Do I need to cook the filling before adding it to pan? Or will raw rhubarb work here?
Thanks
