COPYCAT HOSTESS PIE

So by now you know we love a pie, and this Copycat Hostess Pie doesnt disappoint. This reciepe created by The Cooking Photographer combines blackberries and Crème de Cassis Liquor with an olive oil pastry topped with glaze that closely mimics those Hostess Fruit Pies of old.
If you dont want to make your own olive oil pastry, you can just substitute frozen pie dough as well as change the fruit filling to the fruit of your choice ( I love cherries).
