What type of pie crust would you pair with a sweet potato pie? I made my very first sweet potato pie last night. It happens to be my father in laws favorite. After, when he tried the first bite and demolished another 4 slices, we talked about pie crusts. He said he was more of a fan of "less sweet" pie crusts. I like sweet pie crusts. Which do you think goes better with the more flavorful, not-as-sweet-as-pumpkin-pie sweet potato pie? Sweet or not? What does the recipe call for?
Any tips for making good pie crusts? I am generally a talented cook and have no problems with recipies and cooking/baking without, but pie crusts and I don't seem to get along. They range from being tasteless to hard/stale, unless we are talking of dinner-pies such as Chicken, Ham, and Leek Pie. How can I get a nice flakey, non-bland pie crust that will taste good used for a fruit-pie?
What should I do with excess pie filling? I just made a pumpkin pie from scratch. But I have quite a bit of filling that didn't fit into the pie crust. I don't have anymore pie pans, and I'm not interested in making anymore pie crust anyways! What else could I make with pumpkin pie filling? How could I make it into a bread or some cookies or something? Thanks for the first 2 answers, but I don't have pumpkin puree anymore, its all been made into the filling. I need a recipe that starts with pumpkin pie filling.
Can I make a pie in a glass dish? My BF told me he had pie pans. I've searched the entire kitchen, and I give up! I have 3 clear-glass casserole dishes. Two of them are 8x8 inches, and I think the other is 9X12 (it doesn't say on the bottom). Will my pie/s turn out just as good this way? I wanted to make two pies, so should I use the one big on or the two small ones? Also, do I need to grease the bottom (the crust will have tons of Crisco in it). Thanks to everyone in advance!
How to apply meringue to lemon meringue pie? Hi, I just made a lemon meringue pie using My-T-Fine pie filling. I beat the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar according to directions. However, my meringue didn't have those beautiful stiff peaks like I've seen my grandmother do and on professional pies. I think my grandmother used to dollop scoops of meringue all over the pie and then connect them and did something to get the curls. Does anyone have any tips about my application or mixing?
How do you make cream cheese pie, as opposed to cheesecake? I'm trying to make a cream cheese pie, not a cheesecake. One difference is that the cream cheese pie is not baked. It has a different consistencey, about as firm, as ice cream, but smoother and not frozen. It dosen't have the cake-like consistency of cheesecake. Anyway, I'm using the following recipe: INGREDIENTS 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust 1 (21 ounce) can light cherry pie filling 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1/3 cup lemon juice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract DIRECTIONS Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk, and continue beating until smooth and combined. Add lemon juice and vanilla; mix well. Fill graham cracker crust evenly. Refrigerate until set; this will take between 2 to 4 hours. The end result? Cream cheese soup! Does anybody know how I can firm this up? Or am I doing something wrong? I definitely used sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk. Thanks for the responses. I'll try it again. Did not add cheries either. I have a can to spoon over slices ater it sets and I cut it, but I didn't add it to the mix.
How long do homemade pie crusts last in the freezer? Nothing is better than a homemade pie crust, but sometimes I need one quickly and do not have the time to start from scratch. I was thinking about making several and freezing them, than when I am in need of a crust, I would just thaw and roll. I thought this would also be good for around the holidays, when I am baking several pies. I'm not sure if this would affect the outcome of the crust. Does anyone do this? Do you store them in a freezer bag or a plastic container? If so, how long do they generally last?
What can i use instead of a pie plate ? I want to make banana cream pie but i don't know where the pie plate is, can i use something else ?

What type of crust would be best for pumpkin pie? I'm planning to bake a bunch of pumpkin pies fully from scratch. About 12 to 14 pies. And I was wondering, since the filling is so liquidy, how should I go about it? Any tips. Only about half the pies will be baked right away. The rest will be frozen. I love flaky pastry. Do you think this will be possible with pumpkin pie (or a small tart) or will it just get soggy? What if I pre-baked it?
What would cause a pie to turn out extra watery? ... I wasn't surprised with my first peach pie, but an apple pie? I didn't use anything more than apples and the dry ingredients (sugar, flour, cinnamon, etc.) yet my dessert is more of a soup. Sad face. =( What could I be doing wrong?

Can I substitute butter for shortening in a pie crust? I'm making a French silk pie and the ingredients for the crust say to use shortening or lard. Can I use butter instead? This is for the "Baked Pie Crust". Should I use the Graham Cracker crust instead? I know how to make the pie part, it's just the crust I'm worried about. Thanks! Yeah I mean real butter not margarine.
How can I make pumpkin pie or other pumpkin dessert without an oven? I'm studying abroad and don't have access to an oven, and thanksgiving is coming up. Is there any way I can make pumpkin pie or some sort of pumpkin-y dessert that I could substitute for pie?

How can I keep my pie crust from shrinking? I'm using a good quality (Mrs. Smith) pie crust for a chocolate pie, when I bake it I prick small holes in the bottom to prevent bubbles but the sides and edges shrink and seem to draw up almost 1/2 inch. It looks bad in the pan because it's so small! Any ideas as to prevent that? Does it matter if I thaw it before cooking or should I put it into the oven frozen?

After I freeze one, at what temperature should I cook it? Should I let it thaw out at all? Will it turn out nasty? Help, Please! Also, how shoould I freeze it?

How exactly do I keep the pie crust edge from burning? I'm baking pumpkin pies and the crust edges keep burning. I've read that I should put aluminum foil on the edges, but I'm not exactly sure how. Is it for a certain amount of time, like the whole cooking time, last 30 minutes, last 15 minutes or what. The pie bakes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 40-50 more minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And it is store-bought crusts.
How do I keep the edges of my pie crust from getting brown? The edges on my pie crusts keep getting brown or overly browned when I bake my pies. I even use a pie ring (a metal ring that sits around the edges of the pie, which is supposed to prevent over-browning). And, I have also tried putting aluminum foil around the edges of the pie. (Which is basically the same thing as using the pie ring.) But, for some reason, the edges of my pies keep coming out a little too brown. Anyone have any other suggestions on how to keep this from happening? Thanks in advance.

Why is there liquid under my Apple pie? When I make my grandmothers recipe for apple pie, it always comes out with a bit of moisture covering the bottom crust making it very soggy and otherwise unappetizing. I can't figure out why this happens as I drain the apples of all juice after I'm done cutting them up. Can anyone help? I was told tapioca, but I don't really know how much to use and that seems a little strange to me. Any suggestions would be appreciated! I'd also like to say that the crust is home-made as well, and I use about 5 large Granny Smith apples.
