’tis the Season


Frigid weather, cold hands, scarves and hats. What better way to warm up than to come in from the chill and warm up in front of the fireplace with a mug of Hot Cocoa and a slice of leftover pie (or tart).

Pies. Mmmm, pies.

Or perhaps I should say,
“Mmmm, crust.” Of all the temptations in the kitchen of a baker, pie crust scraps are my undoing. What’s not to love about all-butter pâte brisée? Pies, to me, are all about the crust. Pie crust needs to provide a hearty balance for the sweetness that sits atop it.

Caramel Pecan Pie: a buttery home-made caramel is poured over pecans and then covered in chocolate ganache.

Pumpkin Pie: A fall classic. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream or serve at room temperature with fresh whipped cream.

Apple Pie: as American as they come. Classic, flaky, butter crust filled with apples, cinnamon, nutmeg (my favorite spice in the whole world), and a few pats of butter.
