Subject: Need awesome pie recipe.
Twice a week I meet with my German study group. There's only three of us, so it's a small group. On Wednesday we were going to get pie after studying but by the time we finished it was too late. I was going to bake 3 little pies for Monday night. I'm looking for suggestions other than apple or pumpkin. I was thinking apple honey pie, or pear with cheese. Maybe something with lavender?

Thanks.

These are the ones I just posted on your ACF thread:

This is not a conventional pie but it IS awesome.

Free-Form Harvest Apple Tart


Prep 20 min. – Total 55 min. including refrigerating

1 ½ Cups flour
½ cup (one stick) butter, softened
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, divided
1 pkg. (4 serving size) jell-O Brand Lemon Flavor Gelatin, divided
2 medium McIntosh apples (about 1 lb), unpeeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 tsp cornstarch
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup Planters Sliced Almonds

Place flour, butter and half of the cream cheese in food processor; cover. Process, using pulsing action, until mixture is well blended and almost forms a ball. Shape dough into ball; wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or until chilled.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place pastry on lightly floured surface; roll out to 14 x 8 inch rectangle. Place on parchment paper-covered baking sheet; set aside. Mix remaining cream cheese and half of the dry gelatin mix until well blended. Spread onto pastry to within 2 inches of edge.

Toss apples with the remaining dry gelatin mix, the cornstarch and cinnamon. Spoon evenly over cream cheese filling. Fold edge of pastry over apples toward center of tart. (apples in center of tart will remain exposed). Sprinkle top with almonds, bake, in lower third of oven, 35 min. or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Cool. Store leftover tart in refrigerator.

Makes 8 servings, 1 slice each.

Jazz it up: For a more golden brown crust, lightly beat 1 egg yolk with 1 tsp. water. Brush over top of crust; sprinkle with 2 tsp. sugar. Bake as directed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Lime Pie

Filling:

14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
4 oz. lime juice (freshly squeezed, please)
2 egg yolks

Mix the milk, lime juice and egg yolks together in an oven proof dish and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Let rest.

Crust:

6 oz. almonds ground in food processor
2 oz. dry coconut
1 sleeve graham crackers out of the box, crushed

Mix together the almonds, coconut and crushed crackers and add a little melted butter, enough to bind the ingredients. Press into pie pan, prep bake for 5 minutes at 350.

Add filling to pie crust and chill for at least an hour or two before topping with merangue. I use about 4 egg whites because I like a lot of merangue. If you add merangue to a warm pie, it will 'weep'.

Edit: I know some people don't bother, but I perfer the looks of a browned merangue. I put mine in a preheated 350 degree oven and keep an eye on it till I see it lightly browned on the top. Then remove the pie from the oven and thoroughly chill in the fridge until the entire pie is cold. Very, very cold is the perfect temperature for key lime pie

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Be sure to thank Hellnhiheels for this one:

Bourbon Street Chocolate Pecan Pie

1 c light corn syrup
3 eggs
1/3 c butter, melted
1 c brown sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 pinch salt
2 c pecans, coarsely chopped
1 pie shell, uncooked
5 oz milk chocolate, coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 350F.

Combine the corn syrup, eggs and melted butter and whisk briskly. Add the brown sugar and mix well. Add the vanilla, salt and pecans. Blend well.

Pour the mixture into the pie shell and drop in the chocolate pieces. Wrap the edge of the pie with foil to help keep the crust from over browning and drying out. Place the pie on a small sheet pan and put it into the hot oven for about one hour, until the center is set and the pie is golden brown.

Best served at room temperature or warmed slightly in the microwave oven.

a little French Vanilla Ice Cream on the side won't kill you any faster!

Buy a graham cracker crust shell
Get some cool whip, mix it up to the instructions on the box.
get a 1 pound chocolate bar, break it up into bits, mix with the cool whip.

pour in to the shell, and serve.

I guess that's unconventional.

I make the same crust as this one and fill it with Royal Key Lime pudding and a merangue topping. Everyone seems to like both versions although the Key Lime pudding isn't quite as tart.

My great Aunt Evelyn was always the one tasked with making the pumpkin pies for thanksgivings because of her reputation as having the best in the family. When my mom approached for for her recipe, she pointed to the can.

Do this traditional German dessert:

Bee Sting Cake (Bienenstich)

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
1 5/8 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar

3/4 cup lukewarm milk
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk
5/8 cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 tablespoon cream of tartar

DIRECTIONS
Combine flour, yeast, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, 3/4 cup milk, and 3 tablespoons butter or margarine.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead until smooth and elastic, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Place in a well greased bowl, and cover.

Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled.

Punch down the dough.

Roll out to a 1/2 inch thickness.

Spread into a greased 8 inch square baking pan.

Cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.

Melt 3 tablespoons butter or margarine and confectioner's sugar in a saucepan.

Add almonds and 1 tablespoon milk.

Remove from heat, and stir in honey.

Spread evenly and carefully onto the dough.

Allow dough to continue to rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until crust turns golden brown.

Cool completely on a wire rack.

Dissolve cornstarch in a little milk.

Combine 1 1/2 cups milk, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon sugar inn the top of a double boiler.

Heat while stirring until thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Add in beaten egg, and keep stirring for about 2 more minutes, or until thick.

Remove from heat, and stir in extract.

Chill, covered, in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Beat the whipping cream with the cream of tartar until stiff.

Fold into the chilled pudding.

Cut the cooled almond crust bread into 1 1/4 x 2 inch rectangles.

Slice each horizontally into halves.

Fill with pudding mixture.

Chill, and serve cold.
