12 Sweet Pie Recipes for Summertime!

I love pie. Don't you guys love pie?

Our city recently got a diner (a real one!), and they serve... you guessed it!... pie! :) We had dinner there, and the pie (which we got to go) was divine!

Which reminded me, that my Summer Bucket List mentioned making two new pies... I need to get on that! While looking for ideas, I made this list of 12 pie recipes that I found on Pinterest! While great at any time of year, they would be especially fantastic for summer!

1) Apricot Raspberry Galette - Gluten free!
2) Patriotic Pie - While a bit late this year, this pie would be lovely for the 4th!
3) Peach Pie - Peach is my favorite!
4) Strawberry Peach Tart - I have yet to eat or make a strawberry pie! Maybe it's time?
5) Cherry Hand Pies - Cherry is KC's favorite!
6) Blueberry Peach -  or try this one from Becca @ Ladyface - It's gluten free & vegan too!
7) Old Fashioned Banana Cream Pie - This is legit, no pudding involved!
8) Scarlett O'Hara Raspberry Pie - adorable name, may just make me try it!
9) Four Berry Pie -Mmmm...
10) Blackberry Crumb Pie - Crumble topping is hard to resist.... and super low maintenance!
11) Berry Apple Rhubarb Pie - Rhubarb is also a pie flavor I have never eaten or made!
12) Meyer Lemon Chess Pie - I have never had a chess pie.. but this looks delicious!

Is your mouth watering?

Perhaps you are feeling like pie is more effort than you have time for... try this no-fail fruit crisp recipe. My favorite combination so far is raspberry peach! I love how easy it is: put fruit in pan, top fruit with crumble, bake, eat... Top it with ice cream if you are feeling really crazy. And then eat the leftovers for breakfast... ;)

What is your favorite summer pie or dessert?

Pretty darn soon it's going to be time to start thinking about fall!

Exciting!!

Blueberry Peach Pie {recipe #58}

One of my summer bucketlist goals was to try a new pie recipe. This is the one that I chose.

Blueberry Peach Pie

Borrowed, Adapted and Enjoyed from The Farm Chicks in the Kitchen.

Ingredients:

One recipe of double crust pastry OR store bought pie dough

5 cups of sliced fresh peaches

1/2 cup fresh blueberries or huckleberries

3/4 cup sugar

4 T. all purpose flour

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1) prepare the double crust pastry according to directions (allow time to let chill for at least 2 hours). OMIT step one if using purchased prepared pie crust.

2) Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out first crust and place in pie pan. Cut shapes or make lattice design out of second crust if desired. 

3) Toss the peaches, blueberries, sugar, flour and cinnamon together in the large bowl. Pour the filling into the prepared pie pan. 

4) Lay top crust in desired fashion.

5) Let pie chill in fridge for 10 minutes.

6) Bake until the fruit is bubbly and the crust is golden brown, about 50-55 minutes. Take out and let cool.

Enjoy!

 This pie was not my favorite recipe, but it was definitely unique and tasty. I am not a huge blueberry (in) pie fan so that really explains it. Kyle and his parents LOVED it though... so it just depends on your personal pie preferences. :) 

What is your favorite out of the ordinary pie recipe?

All for now,
