My grandmother first made this pie with ground cherries from her garden, and I've been hooked ever since. These little golden fruits are packed with vitamin C and have this wonderful tart sweetness that makes them perfect for baking. What I love most is how simple and quick this recipe is to put together, ready to bake in just 15 minutes. The brown sugar filling combined with that buttery crumb topping creates the most delicious contrast of flavors and textures. Whether you're using store bought ground cherries or picking them fresh, this pie never fails to impress.
