Vibrant color and a medley of fruit in its filling make this pretty pie a standout. "This special dessert always brings compliments," says Mrs. Clifford Davis of Fort Smith, Arkansas. "The combination of cherries, pineapple, bananas and nuts appeals to most everyone."

I thought this pie was just average. The crust was flaky but the filling was a bit bland. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

This pie was just okay. The crust was a bit too thick and the filling was a bit too sweet. I wouldn't make it again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie turned out nothing like the picture. The crust was overcooked and the filling was too runny. I would not recommend this recipe.
