Village Tips
*This pie filling is also delicious in a graham cracker or chocolate cookie crumb crust.

*Don't feel like fresh strawberries? Thawed frozen strawberries, strawberry glaze or melted strawberry jam makes a thrifty substitute for the fresh strawberries. Or let your imagination guide you about what to put on top: Try blueberry pie filling, cherry pie filling or sliced fresh fruit.
