These recipes look delicious!!! I am going to give every one of them a try. I'm wondering do they actually bake and form their own pie shell? I notice none say pour into an unbaked pie shell?

I thank you for all the recipes, Cathy

[Mama Mangia]

Cathy -you're welcomed..........

Of course they don't say pour into an unbaked pie shell - they make their own!

Try it and let me know what you think!

Enjoy!!

Carmel apple pie recipe. I haven't checked the archives yet but read this post and thought I might add my request here. My husband isn't a fan of apple pie. He likes apple crumb pie, but recently bought a caramel apple pie and went nuts over it. Would like a recipe for that if anyone has one. Thanks!

cinnamon and melted butter. Mix well and press into a
10-inch pie plate, going up the sides. Bakefor 6 to 8
minutes until golden in color. Remove pie shell from oven
and cool completely.
Pour caramel topping into pie shell and sprinkle with 1 cup

medium heat; add brown sugar, salt and cinnamon.

Remove pie from oven and let cool.
Refrigerate 4 hours.
Let stand outside the refrigerator for 30 minutes before
serving. Top with cream whipped with sugar

I don't use a graha cracker crust for this - I use my normal crust recipe.

I hope this helps.

tablespoon at a time. Roll out 2/3 of dough for bottom crust and place into pie pan. Roll out last
1/3 of dough and cut into strips for lattice top crust. On parchment paper or cookie sheet, weave
the strips to form lattice. Set aside.
For topping: mix cracker crumbs, brown sugar and flour. Cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside.

For topping: mix cracker crumbs, brown sugar and flour. Cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside.
For filling: combine apples, lemon juice, sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Spoon apple filling into

Sprinkle cracker topping over apples.
Slide lattice crust over top of pie. Fold edges of bottom crust over ends of lattice crust, pressing
to seal. Brush lattice strips with egg wash.
Fold foil strips around edges of crust and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for
an additional 40 minutes or until apples are bubbling and crust is browned. While still hot, drizzle pie with Caramel Butterscotch Ice Cream Topping. Cool the pie before serving. Top with Caramel Pecan
Cream Sauce.

Caramel Pecan Whipped Cream:
1 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup Caramel Butterscotch Ice Cream Topping
1/3 cup pecans, processed very fine
Pour whipping cream into a deep bowl. With electric mixer, whip the cream on high, adding sugar a
little at a time. When the cream is whipped, continue to beat on medium, while you add the caramel.
Fold in pecans. (The cream will reduce a bit, giving you a smooth, creamy sauce to pour over the
pie.) Refrigerate before serving over the pie

This goes good with a scoop of ice cream or dollop of whipped cream

Here is a recipe that showed up in my paper this week. The crust is not rolled, instead a batter is mixed and spread into the bottom of a pie pan. Filling is poured on top of the crust. As pie bakes, the edges of the crust rise to give the pie the look of a rolled crust.

Crazy Cherry Pie

1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
1 tab. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 c. flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 c. shortening
1 egg
3/4 c. water
Whipped cream (OPT.)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Combine cherry pie filling, lemon juice and cinnamon and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add shortening, egg and water. Beat two minutes. Pour crust into a deep dish 9-inch pie plate and spread around.
Pour cherry filling mixture into center of crust batter. Do not stir. Bake 45 minutes. Cool. The pie can be served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. A can of apple pie filling can be substituted for the cherry pie filling.
