Pies & Tarts & Crusts, Oh my!

Are you in search of a pie recipe that will leave everyone wanting more?  Well, here's a collection of pies and tarts that will be the highlight of your fall gatherings. Also, it’s not to early to start planning your Thanksgiving meal.  

My Cranberry Tart with a Cocoa Crust is a big hit even with those who shy away from cranberries. Give it a try and you won't believe it gluten-free!

The adventurous baker will enjoy making this Earl Grey Custard Pie.  It is perfumed with bergamot from earl grey tea, and the perfect ending to any meal.  

Creamy, crumbly and layered with flavor kids of all ages will enjoy this Peanut Butter Pie.

I created this Crustless Almond and Fig Tart when I was in need of a gluten free dessert.  It has become one of my go-to recipes because of its simplicity and versatility.  I simply slice figs, pears or stone fruit and place it on top.  Use the seasonal slice of fruit you have available, and all will be happy!

Learning how to make a fail-proof pastry crust has been invaluable.  I enjoy making this so much that I always have a stash in the freezer.  It's a great gift for the baker in your life, and you should try it this Thanksgiving season with your favorite pie filling.
