Toss well to combine. Fill pie crust gently, arranging slices so they do not hang over sides. Bake 1 hour. Top pie with even layer of marshmallows. Bake an additional 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. When baked, slices should be tender and marshmallows brown. Serve as side dish with dinner. 6 to 8 servings = about 675 calories.
