Pie and Tart Recipes for Every Occasion

Nothing says love like a pie for dinner. Your family will rave about this collection of pie and tart recipes. Down-home baking deserves nothing less than pie. Serve a tart when you want an elegant, but not too difficult, dessert for a special party or dinner. My Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie is luscious and creamy, a perfect celebration of summer when berries ripen and peak. Chocolate Raspberry Tart offers layers of flavor and texture for a swoonworthy dessert. Make your guests think you spent all day baking my Cinnamon Apple Torte when in fact, it's an easy dessert to prepare. I like to use non-stick pie and tart pans to make serving much easier. My go-to pans are the Williams-Sonoma goldtouch pans. These pans are expensive, but never disappoint. Glass also makes a good pie pan because you can see how dark the pastry is getting.
