For all the good reasons I’m so addicted to muskmelon these days and they have been my go to fruit to beat the exhaustion of summer! As I had a completely ripened muskmelon sitting in my kitchen the other day, I decided I’ll make some dessert out of it and wondered how about a baked pie? and decided to make this pie. To be honest, that was the best decision ever for they turned extremely delicious and satiating. Musk melons are amazing summer fruits that are good for digestion and great for the skin.
