Quick and Easy Pie Crust
Flaky and buttery pie crust is the foundation of any good pie. But let's be real, making pie crust from scratch can be a daunting task. That's why I opt for a quick and easy pie crust recipe using store-bought refrigerated pie crust dough. Simply roll out the dough onto a pie dish, crimp the edges, and your crust is ready to be filled with your favorite holiday pie filling.
Effortless Pumpkin Pie Filling
No holiday season is complete without a classic pumpkin pie. But why spend hours in the kitchen when you can achieve the same delicious results with minimal effort? My secret? Canned pumpkin puree. Simply mix it with evaporated milk, eggs, spices, and a touch of maple syrup for a twist on the traditional recipe. Pour the mixture into your prepared crust and bake for a hassle-free pumpkin pie.
Shortcut Apple Pie
Another holiday favorite, apple pie, can also be made with a shortcut. Instead of peeling and slicing apples, use apple pie filling from a can. Add some cinnamon and nutmeg to enhance the flavor and pour it into your crust. You can even add a crumble topping made with oats, butter, and brown sugar for an extra special touch.
Decadent Chocolate Pecan Pie
No holiday dessert spread is complete without a chocolate pecan pie. This recipe may seem intimidating, but fear not, I have a shortcut for this one too. Instead of making the filling from scratch, use a jar of chocolate fudge sauce and mix in some chopped pecans. Pour it into your crust and bake for a rich and indulgent pie that will impress your guests.
