Delicious Pie Recipes

by Linda Pogue

Wow! This year is moving fast. It is already the end of August, and it seems like just yesterday was January 1. As I start thinking of the fall and winter months ahead, I think of the desserts for holiday baking.

One of my favorite desserts is pie. It usually doesn't matter what kind, though I do have some favorites. After reviewing the posts on this blog since the beginning post, I realized I have several good pie recipes here. So, I decided to make a post with links to all the pie recipes I have posted so far.

Pie and Crust Recipes

• Creamy Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe
• Key Lime Pie

No-Bake Cheesecake

I included the following recipes since they use a graham cracker crust. You can either make the crust yourself, as in the Lemon Bisque recipe, or you can use a purchased graham cracker crust.

The recipes above are family favorites. Some have been in the family since the early 1960's. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Do you bake pies for holidays, too?

Pumpkin Pie is a Favorite at My House

 

Regardless the time of the year, my family loves pumpkin pie. Of course, when pumpkin is out of season, I am reduced to using pumpkin puree from a can, but fresh pumpkin makes the very best pies.

 

Pumpkin Pie Recipe

 

Ingredients:

• 3 ¼ cups small chunks of pumpkin (or 1 can pumpkin puree)
• 2 eggs, at room temperature, slightly beaten
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup whipping cream
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp. nutmeg
• ½ tsp. ground ginger
• Pastry for one 9” deep dish pie

Instructions:

1. Boil pumpkin for 10 minutes, or just until tender. Drain water, mash pumpkin, and set aside to cool.
2. Whisk the eggs , brown sugar and honey in a large mixing bowl. Add cooled pumpkin, cream, and spices. Mix thoroughly. Pour filling into an unbaked 9” pie shell and smooth surface with the back of the spoon. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until set. Allow to cool. Serve with ice cream or whipped topping, if desired.
