“ ’The pie that does the impossible by making its own crust’. The Impossible Recipes by Bisquick became popular in the 1970’s and people love them. This delicious French Apple Pie recipe is from 1983 and you don’t see it anymore. I think it’s because it uses a 10-inch pie plate and those are hard to find these days. I don’t think there’s an Impossible Pie…
Paula Deen’s Fudge Pie, which also is the same one that was on the back of the Baker’s Secret chocolate box is so rich and delicious! No wonder it is a favorite of chocolate lovers! It uses ONLY 4 INGREDIENTS! There are just a few changes I do to make it better I think: 1. TO MAKE IT EASIER I melt the chocolate in the…
“A yummy, refreshing, light pie you keep in the freezer, and take out an hour before serving. A great summertime pie, but great all year round! I’ve made variations with different yogurt flavors and fruit that are delicious! You don’t really have to add the middle layer of fruit, but I think it makes it extra special. Frozen fruit or well-drained canned fruit…
This is one of my favorite holiday pies! It is such a tasty combination! I have tried several recipes for this pie, and combined some techniques and ingredients to come up with the way I like it. To me, this is my best way. Cooking the filling for a few minutes beforehand makes it a success every time! I like it with lowered sugar and more…
Servings: 8 “If you are one of those die-hard rum raisin fans you have to try this adults only, kicked-up-a-notch, gourmet apple pie that is not hard to make at all. I adapted this recipe from Epicurious so you know it has to be great! For an even stronger rum taste you can keep the cooked rum raisin mixture at room temperature in a covered…
Really a caramel apple pie, this famous apple pie from Allrecipes is really as good as everyone says it is! I made some personal preference changes and altered the technique quite a bit to make it EASIER AND FOOLPROOF! I mix most of the syrup with the apples before putting it into the pie, then brush my kept-warm, reserved syrup over the rest over…

“A cream cheese pie recipe was very popular back in the 1970’s with cherry pie filling on top. My version uses heavy cream in the filling which makes it softer and a glazed fresh fruit topping. In this one I used strawberries, kiwis, and blackberries, but you can use any fruit. Enjoy!” Servings: 8 INGREDIENTS: 1 nine-inch baked pie crust FILLING: 1/2 cup…
HAND PIES, TURNOVERS, PIES-TO-GO, whatever you want to call these, they are delicious! A pie in your hand to eat neatly! They are even easier to make when you use refrigerated pie crust rolls. You need to get some hand pie molds. You can easily find many shapes to buy in Amazon. Substitute any other fruit or use canned pie filling you wish. I have…
“Plain custard pie is a favorite of mine, and this old recipe of my Aunt Dora’s is for a large ten-inch custard pie. I just love it! Other recipes I’ve tried end up with a soggy crust or the filling is too low or too bland. Sometimes the best recipes are the old ones, and yet sometimes I find the opposite to be true….
“My memory goes back to the 1950’s when my great-Aunt Concetta (who was my third and fourth grade teacher, by the way!) used to make this exact pecan pie recipe often. It was one of her favorites, as is mine. It is one of those old-fashioned, fool-proof recipes that cannot be improved upon. This classic has had many variations through the years, but…
This is my nod to an Italian Easter tradition I grew up with….Rice pies! Families had their own variations of the Easter rice pie, and I have tasted many! This is my favorite, with ricotta cheese. I got this recipe from my Aunt Gloria, who was an excellent cook and baker! It is really smooth and delicious! It is a very easy pie to make!…
