Incredible Watermelon Pie

Submitted by: Aggeliki

Living In: Athens, Attica, Greece

Watermelon pie with a sesame seed crust. This is a traditional Greek recipe. When I first heard of it, I was very reluctant to try something so strange. After tasting it, it turned into one of the family's favorite desserts. And it is very easy to make! Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon before serving if you wish.
