This recipe was made on the fly to use up some kiwi fruit before it expired. A future pie with similar recipe will be made with lime so I can call it a Kiwi-Lime Pie (Not Key Lime Pie). The name would be an attention getter because of the similarity.
I had a pkg. of 4 kiwis that needed to be used before they passed their prime, so decided to make a pie with them. I envisioned a rather shallow pie (actually could have made a pizza). The round cut kiwi slices with their unique design (call it design by nature), would give a visual appearance similar to a pizza with pepperoni and sausage pieces. Instead, I chose to use a pre-made graham cracker crust. This was because the pie was being made as an accompaniment for the afternoon Cappuccino time (4 PM EST +/- a few). The label with this crust showed that it contained 18 ingredients besides the graham cracker crumbs, and those ingredients may be necessary for things like long warehouse storage times, pleasing appearance, ease of preparation for the factory. But -- enough chatter, let's get on with it!
Pie Recipe
Ingredients
4 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced thin
1 banana, peeled, then cut on the bias for larger slices
1/2 cp brown sugar
Sprinkling of powdered sugar
1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
1 - Heat olive oil in shallow skillet, then add kiwi slices
2 - Saute' for 2 or 3 minutes, then add brown sugar and toss to mix.
3 - Cook with frequent stirring for another 2 or 3 minutes.
4 - Pour into the prepared pie crust (already in an aluminum pie pan.)
5 - Spread the kiwis evenly , then add banana pieces in the spaces between.

This one tasted great but the next one will be made with scratch pastry and topped with meringue, or with whipped cream after cooling.
