Holiday Pie Recipes

There are many ways to celebrate when it comes to the holiday season; one of the most popular methods being food. For many years special foods have been used to mark different seasons. Whether seasonal produce or specific spices are used, if you're eating a winter dessert, you know it. Pumpkin pie, peppermint, hazelnut and cinnamon are all dessert flavors that scream winter time. These desserts bring back loved flavors that remind us of some of our favorite holiday memories. With this year being a bit different than past holiday seasons, you may be searching for fun ways to boost your family's festive spirit. If that's the case, then we suggest whipping up a delicious pie that everyone can enjoy. Whether you choose to make these pie recipes yourself or let your loved ones in on the baking fun, it's sure to make a lasting impression this season. Because this year is different from any of the rest, we decided to take a look at our recipe book and choose a pie recipe that's just as unique. Creating a unique holiday pie this season is an excellent way to raise holiday spirit while bringing new flavors to the table.

Extravagant Flavors

When it comes to baking a unique pie recipe, one of the first things we'll want to look at is the flavors being used. By combining flavors outside of the popular seasonal ones, you'll provide guests with a new option at the dessert table, one that's sure to spark their interest. When it comes to creating new flavor combos, we encourage you to get imaginative! What are some of the fruits, spices and ingredients that you love to eat together? Whatever they are, try adding them into a pie. To help you get started, here are a few uniquely flavored pies that we're eager to try this season.

Hand Pies

If you've never enjoyed a hand pie before then, you're in for a treat. A pastry that commonly fills the shelves of bakeries worldwide, nearly every culture has a hand pie. So, what is it? A hand pie is formed by placing a dollop of filling onto a circular piece of biscuit-style dough folded over and closed shut. This unique folding style makes these pies the perfect size for holding in your hands. Hand pies can be baked, fried or deep-fried and come in several sweet and savory flavors. Depending on which part of the world you visit, hand pies can have many names. In South America, hand pies are commonly called empanadas, whereas they're known as a "patty" in the Caribbean. No matter where your hand pie recipe comes from, we are sure that it will be a hit this holiday season. To get started making hand pies at home, check out the recipes below.
