Fruit Custard Tart
This felt very festive to help celebrate the 4th of July, plus it’s always nice to have fruit when it’s in season. This isn’t necessarily difficult, but it is quite time consuming to make sure to allot enough time. The shortbread crust is pretty easy to throw together, though be sure to factor in the…

Best Apple Pie Cookies
It’s National Apple Pie Day! I could have made an apple pie to celebrate but I thought it would be fun to do something slightly different so I found a recipe for apple pie cookies! Making the apple filling was very easy and I love breaking down apples in butter and sugar because it makes…

Cherry Vanilla Shortbread Tart
It’s a little early for cherry season, but I had a lot of cherries on hand and didn’t want to waste them so I found this recipe. I’ve only made two tarts before; a Berry Cream Tart and a Roasted Tomato Tart. I’ve decided I really like making tarts. They’re easy, look really pretty, and…

Streusel-Topped Mincemeat Pie
Last year I ran across a jar of mincemeat at the grocery store and on a whim I threw it in my cart. I’ll be honest, mincemeat sounds gross but it’s very British and I wanted to at least try it. I had another recipe I was going use, but then saw the recipe for…

Royal Custard Tart
I’m a big fan of Great British Bake Off (GBBO) and Custard Tart is something they’ve made before that I’ve always wanted to try. It feels a bit like a fall treat, especially with the nutmeg so I added it to my to-bake list. I should have used a recipe from one of my GBBO…

Skillet Peach Pie
I know it’s not peach season anymore, but I made this during the summer and decided to post it later. This particular recipe is an adaption of one my sister-in-law has used on All Recipes. Other than the time spent peeling and slicing the peaches this doesn’t take much time at all and was really…

Chocolate Cream Pie
Happy Pi Day! I love chocolate meringue pie and had been wanting one for a while. My husband has used a good recipe in the past from America’s Test Kitchen so I looked through our cookbooks and found this one. He swore it was the same one he used to make chocolate meringue pie last…

Pumpkin Pie
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m posting early today in case you need a quick and yummy dessert to eat with your thanksgiving meal. If you have a can of pumpkin puree, a can of sweetened condensed milk, some eggs, and spices then you’re set. Well, and a pie crust… that’s pretty important too (we generally get the…

Chocolate Icebox Pie
Recently my grandfather and I were talking about pie, which isn’t really abnormal; but, he was telling me that he grew up eating Chocolate Icebox Pie. Having never heard of this pie before I wondered how it was different from Chocolate Meringue Pie, Chocolate Cream Pie, Chocolate Chess Pie or Chocolate Silk Pie. I’m still…

Peach Galette
A galette is a flat, round cake made of pastry dough or bread and I’d never heard of it before; but it looked like a fun dessert to try so I figured why not? This recipe isn’t hard, but it is a bit time consuming. The dough portion was easy and I really love pie…
