To get you started on your cast iron pie journey, we created a complete guide to perfect pie crust (with pictures!). Dig out the flour and butter, get your hands dirty, and then read on for our favorite pie recipes. E-mail this page Share on Facebook Share on Pinterest Share on Twitter Print this page Apple Pie With Cheddar Crust Cheddar has been added to our basic pie crust recipe to layer in new flavor and honor an American diner staple with some all-grown-up sensibilities. Carefully layered apples make this a satisfying pie to construct and a beauty to slice. Behold a beautiful, new classic! Pumpkin Pie With Spiced Whipped Cream Let’s not pigeon-hole pumpkin: this versatile vegetable has a place on your table and in your pies year-round, not just at Thanksgiving. A lightly spiced whipped cream takes this traditional dessert to new levels of complexity and yum. Maple Custard Pie With Sugared Cranberries A creamy maple custard nestled in buttery crust is the base for this wintery dessert. Sugared cranberries have been added for a sweet-meets-tart combo, but customize your toppings for the season or your tastes. Grilled pineapple or fresh raspberries, anyone? Butterscotch Pie Creamy butterscotch pudding in a beautiful pie? Sign us up. Top this delicate and smooth custard with a tangy chantilly cream, or customize it with meringue or fresh whipped cream. Blueberry Pie in Cornmeal Crust This cornmeal crust builds on the basics but adds a bit of crunch that perfectly complements soft, sweet blueberries. Nothing is as satisfying as a good slice a la mode. Feel free to use other berries or stone fruits and adjust sugar as necessary. Strawberry Pie This lattice-topped pie is as satisfying to look at as to eat. And while we love the flavor of fresh berries (especially in the summer!) we’ve certainly been known to use frozen ones, too. Customize this recipe with the fillings of your choosing. The Complete Guide to the Perfect Pie Crust (With Pictures!) Follow these steps to make the perfect pie dough, plus recipes, tips from our test kitchen, and essential equipment for a seamless process. Basic Pie Dough Basic pie dough is worth the time it takes to make yourself. Why Bake in Cast Iron The pan you choose has a lot to do with how heat travels to and through what you’re baking, and therefore has a big influence on your results. Chess Pie This recipe uses staple ingredients found in most pantries. The cornmeal is what distinguishes this pie from other custard pies. Tips & Tricks for Baking in Cast Iron Cast iron baking is more than the bakeware you use; it’s an experience and a relationship that will last beyond your lifetime. Cream Cheese Custard Pie With Fruit Topping The a simple custard recipe for this pie makes it a great dessert to cap off any meal.
