Coffee Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan Pie

I'll let everyone get over the mouthful of this pie name before we begin.... Ok we're back. I adapted this recipe from the Magpie book (a beautiful book with SO MANY DIFFERENT PIES) after seeing it and instantly saying "I need to make this" and I'm so glad I did. It sounds weird, but I … Continue reading Coffee Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan Pie

Honeyed Italian Plum Pie

I am eating this pie as I write this. Seriously, where have Italian plums been all my life? They've always been a mysterious purple unknown at the market in the Fall and I've forgone them for the last nectarines or early pears, but after doing my ~Fall Baking Brainstorm~ last weekend, I made the conscious … Continue reading Honeyed Italian Plum Pie

Nectarine Blackberry Pie

Until this summer, I had always been very methodical with fruit pies, overthinking flavour pairings and different spices.The last few months, I've changed my mindset and started putting most of my focus on the fruit itself. I've always believed local and seasonal produce was the key to a perfect pie, but this summer, I've played … Continue reading Nectarine Blackberry Pie

New and Renewed Blueberry Pie

Blueberry pie comes in many varieties. Some people add lavender, some people like it jammy, some people (me) like it juicy. I've started to be a pie purist - I want the summer fruit to shine through because it feels so fleeting. Last year, I posted a blueberry pie recipe and when revisiting it this … Continue reading New and Renewed Blueberry Pie

Sweet and Sour Cherry Pie

After the success of this week's cherry cobbler, I knew it was high time I made my first cherry pie. However in typical Pie Girl fashion, I had to mix it up a bit. Enter sour cherries. I've always seen these at the market and been so in love with their bright red colour, yet … Continue reading Sweet and Sour Cherry Pie

Saskatoon Berry Pie

This is the first pie that I ever made. Starting in middle school, each summer I would go to my Grandma's house to pick the berries off her Saskatoon berry bush (provided the birds didn't get there first, which happened this year) and bake a big pie and some mini pies for the family. I … Continue reading Saskatoon Berry Pie

Strawberry Ginger Pie

Okay I feel like I've been teasing with this pie. I've made it as hand pies, a galette but only now have I made it in classic pie form. I just cannot get enough of this flavour combination (and strawberries are treating me well while I wait for other berries to come into season). I … Continue reading Strawberry Ginger Pie

Strawberry Ginger Hand Pies

The next few weeks will consist of me buying strawberries at the market and proceeding to make any and every kind of strawberry based pie/hand pie/galette possible. These strawberries are far too delicious and the season too short to pass that up. I decided to whip up some hand pies again as they're perfect for … Continue reading Strawberry Ginger Hand Pies

Raspberry Rhubarb Hand Pies

A pie that can fit in the palm of your hand is a very powerful thing. I don't want to say it can solve the world's problems, but dang it's a start. These hand pies have a delicious, tangy, seasonal filling of rhubarb and raspberries, which is something that I am definitely going to throw … Continue reading Raspberry Rhubarb Hand Pies

Chamomile Buttermilk Pie

Spring is finally here! After a week of grey and rain (and snow...) the sun has emerged and is (hopefully) here to stay. While I'm still patiently waiting on rhubarb, I wanted to make a light custard based pie to bring in spring. This pie did the job. Having buttermilk as a base along with … Continue reading Chamomile Buttermilk Pie
