Just came to me why my mother didn't bake, we lived 1 and a half blocks from California Pie bakery, they provided baked goods to restaurants. So why bake when you could buy broken pies for 25 cents and a huge layer cake for 75 cents. They make the best pineapple cheese pie, we even paid full price for it. Never came upon a recipe matching it, layer of pineapple filling on the bottom and moist cheesecake on top, yummy! When they were baking the apple pies the whole neighborhood smelt wonderful.
