Maple Pear Bourbon Pie

Not to exaggerate, but this pie is going to warm your soul and make you ok with the fact that we're still a month or two away from spring pies. This winter I've really started to appreciate pear pies - I think they're definitely underrated and they're so versatile. Pears go perfectly with chocolate, spices … Continue reading Maple Pear Bourbon Pie

Apple Galette

I've already professed my love for galettes in a previous post, but I must reiterate how simply they come together and how delicious they are! If you have pie dough ready in your freezer, it's even better. Also, for those of you vowing to cut down on sweets as your New Year's Resolution, galettes are lighter than … Continue reading Apple Galette

Salty Honey Custard Pie

Christmas has come and gone, which means I've exhausted my pecan pie repertoire and I'm ready to mix it up on the pie front. This pie is weird. But really, really good. Texture wise, it's a standard custard pie, but the surface almost caramelizes into a delicious chewier top. Flavour wise, the honey makes it … Continue reading Salty Honey Custard Pie

Malted Chocolate Pecan Pie

There's an ice cream shop in Stratford, Ontario (birthplace of the Biebz) called Jen and Larry's that changed my life with their malted chocolate milkshake. When I say changed my life I mean it - if I end up in Stratford I don't leave until I have one, which I'm sure is very inconvenient for … Continue reading Malted Chocolate Pecan Pie

Maple Whiskey Pecan Pie

All this Thanksgiving talk has gotten me (a Canadian) into a serious pie mode. I had to let it out somehow, and boy am I glad I did because I ended up with this beauty. I wanted to put a twist on my typical pecan pie, and I had a bottle of maple syrup in … Continue reading Maple Whiskey Pecan Pie

Concord Grape Pie

Okay I've totally become a concord grape convert. The first time I had heard of them was in the Four and Twenty Blackbirds book, then I finally saw them at the market this season and today I took the plunge and bought a basket. This grape is so intensely grapey, like grape juice except fresh, … Continue reading Concord Grape Pie

Pear Ginger Pie

When you think of fall pies, what do you think of? Apples and pumpkin, right? I know I always thought this way and I've discovered how underrated pears are when thinking about fall pies. As I've watched the produce at the market transition from summer to fall, I keep getting drawn to the pears. They're … Continue reading Pear Ginger Pie

Pumpkin Pie

Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend! I rediscovered my addiction to stuffing (only forgetting since last Christmas...) and woke up early yesterday to make the pies. This year I made salted caramel apple pie (see above and two posts ago) and of course, classic pumpkin pie. This pie is warm and perfectly spiced and … Continue reading Pumpkin Pie

Salted Caramel Apple Pie

Well, Fall is officially upon us so we may as well go big or go home. This pie goes big. The salted caramel sauce really differentiates this pie from other apple pies and is amazing to have on hand for ice cream, cookie filling or just on a spoon. I think any sweet and salty … Continue reading Salted Caramel Apple Pie

Matcha Custard Pie

This pie is literally green tea ice cream in pie form. I've wanted to make it for awhile, I initially saw the pie on the Four and Twenty Blackbirds Instagram and LOVED the bright green colour. Then the recipe popped up on New York Times Cooking and all the stars aligned. The flavour of this pie … Continue reading Matcha Custard Pie
