Out of all the things we bake in this group I would say that pies are my weakest dish especially the crust. Rolling the dough and preventing the shrinkage in blind baking are still elusive to me. Since my crust shrunk I had extra filling enough to fill two 8 ounce ramekins, my husband wasn’t…

Double-Apple Picnic Pie
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making picnic pies. Dorie describes a picnic pie as “large, slim, fruit filled pastries, built in low-rimmed pans..” Since I was not cooking for a crowd I decided to use a traditional pie pan. My family was not too keen on a pear pie so I turned…
Banoffee Pie
Banoffee pie is a new dessert for me, I have not tasted or seen one before. After reviewing recipes online I decided to make the Simply Brilliant Banoffee Pie from Bon Appetit. This is a no bake pie except for the crust. A cooled graham cracker crust is covered in a caramel filling, sliced bananas…
Spinach-Mozzarella Pie with Parm Crumble
This savory pie from Baking with Dorie has three components and needs some planning ahead. I made the pie dough and parmesan crumble a day in advance. The day of baking, the pie dough needs partial baking. The filling of onions, shallots and spinach needs to be cooked, cooled and drained before adding to the…
Mulled-Butter Apple Pie
The holiday pie baking season is upon us and I could not be more happy. I started our Thanksgiving week early by making this Mulled-Butter Apple Pie for Sunday night family dinner. This pie is different as it includes brown butter that has been steeped with a cinnamon stick, star anise, cardamom pod, black peppercorns…
Blueberry Pie
The tale of two pies. I made this mixed berry pie when we were all doing our own recipes during the pandemic. It was a soupy mess and I did not want to repeat it. This summer I purchased a Costco mixed berry pie for research purposes 🙂 to compare the two. Costco had the…
Lick-the-Pot Chocolate Pudding Pie
It looked perfect, it sliced perfect and it tasted perfect. I can’t think of anything we didn’t like about this chocolate pudding pie. I gleefully purchased the Biscoff cookies for the crust and according to my husband it was the best crust ever. There was a fair amount of chopping of chocolate and stiring of…
Father’s Day Blueberry-Cherry Pie
Pies are beloved in my house. Every year I make a cherry pie for summer and a blueberry cranberry pie for winter. These are our favorites and I have tried and true recipes. Dorie’s Father’s Day Pie combines two of our favorite berries into one pie. I am used to using pectin as a thickener…
Mixed Berry Pie
Dorie says “As soon as there are berries in the market, there’s pie in our house”. I went with that theme for this week’s baking assignment for Everyday Dorie. Berries went on sale at one of my markets for $1.98/6oz, I took that as a sign to make a pie. I did not use Dorie’s…
