Poor Man's Pie

I didn't make a pie in honor of my dad yesterday, but I made Poor Man's Pie while thinking of him this early evening.  Dad liked elderberries, sweetened and thickened as sauce, spread warm on a slice of bread and then with milk poured on it.  He liked applesauce that way, too, spread on bread and milk poured on it.  He called it Poor Man's Pie, and it's relatively good as pie, --not totally as good, but good enough to be pinch hitter now and then. 

I took some of my frozen raspberries and made a sauce out of them and did the substitute pie thing with them.  It was pretty good, in its own way.  I wouldn't want to do it very often though.
