Author Notes
This is a childhood recipe. I unfortunately cannot remember where the original recipe came from, but over the past 20 years, I've made it my own. The curst is made with ground walnuts and the filling is pure berry goodness. Serve it warm or cold, it doesn't matter. —Vicky | Things I Made Today
