The season for pie is upon us, and there are so many great options beyond pumpkin! Here are my 10 Best Thanksgiving Pie Recipes, including all you need to know to make a successful pie crust.
Apple Pie Filling
Apple pie filling comes together quickly, and is accented with a whisper of beautiful flower waters. These gently bring out the natural floral flavors in the apples.
Pecan Pie Bars
Pecan pie bars have all of the decadent brown-sugary flavor of a pie, but in an easy bar recipe with a push-in crust.
Dutch Apple Pie
Use a combination of apples toget both tartness and sweetness into the pie. I always use a couple of Granny Smith, mixed with Gala, Honey Crisp, Golden Delicious, or Macintosh.
Apricot Jam Tart + Canned Jam
This apricot tart is the glory of all that is apricot–deeply fruity, tart, and yes, sunny, especially when its made with homemade preserves. I love the crust too, with the zing of lemon zest and a great short texture. The first winter I spent living in Harbor Springs by myself, I spent many hours, many
Coconut Oil Pie Crust
Pie crust made with coconut oil is a dream to handle, and results in a rich, tender crust that holds its shape beautifully. A vegan recipe to count on! It’s no secret around here that I’m hopelessly devoted to the pie crust I grew up with, a.k.a.: My Mom’s Best Pie Crust. The flakiness of
Oil Pie Crust
My mom’s no butter pie crust is on deck in the days leading up to any holiday around here. The pie crusts (and the whole pies!) can be frozen, making quick work the morning of. Mom’s no-butter pie crust is ultra flaky, whereas butter crusts, at least to me, are more shortbread cookie in their
Lemon Meringue Tart, The Most Extraordinary
This lemon meringue tart is the most gorgeous, extraordinary tart of its kind. The lemon cream filling is enriched with butter and deep lemon flavor. The recipe can be taken in parts, with the almond crust and lemon filling made in advance. You can imagine how long the days, how sore the back, how bruised
Chocolate-Caramel Pecan Tart Recipe
I present to you this prize of my recipe collection with what can only be described as…guilt. My mother recently asked what I’d be posting in the lead-up to Thanksgiving. I knew she had pie on her mind because that is the topic of the hour at any given time in our house, starting at
Sour Cherry Galette with Cream Cheese Crust
This cherry galette is a free-form pie that is easy to roll out with my cream cheese crust, and easy to assemble into a rustic round. Use tart or sour cherries for classic cherry pie flavor. The possibilities for sour cherries are endless. They’re a natural for Lebanese recipes, fitting right in with our penchant
I have always made butter crusts, and I agree they’re a bit hard to work with. I am excited to try your Mom’s oil crust, but I am wondering if I can blind bake single crust for things like custard, pecan, or lemon meringue? I have blind baked in the past and have had good luck with it. I hate a soggy bottom.
