Today I’m going to share with the you the pie recipe featured in my previous post.

Not only is this pie delicious, but it is high fibre and contains four serves of vegies per serve!

There is definitely room for experimentation with this pie. I would love to see and hear about your time making this fabulous pie. Feel free to email me, tag @emmajstubbs or share it on my facebook page.
