2015 Pie Sunday! Part 4

The pies aren't done yet! Are you ready for some more pie recipes? Well, here they come!

 

S'mores Pie

Ingredients:

1 stick softened butter
1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 whole egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 container (7 oz) marshmallow creme
6 whole (1.55 oz each) Hershey's Chocolate Bars
1 cup mini marshmallows
1/4 cups chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until combined, then add egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated.

Stir in flour, graham cracker crumbs, and baking powder.

Divde the dough in half.

Press half the dough in the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie pan.

Evenly spread the marshmallow creme over the bottom crust. Separate chocolate squares and place on top of the marshmallow creme.

Place the mini marshmallows on top of the marshmallow creme.

Using the remaining crust, pat sections of dough on top of and around all the marshmallows. You will not be able to completely cover all of the marshmallows, but that is what you are going for.

Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chocolate chips, then bake 20 minutes until lightly browned.

Remove pan from oven and set it on a wire rack.

Cool completely before cutting, or it will be too sticky and messy to cut.

You can also warm each serving (or leftovers) up in the microwave to melt the marshmallows and chocolate.

Notes: This is more like a giant s'mores blondie in pie form than an actual pie, but it is still delicious and it was a fan favorite and one of the first pies to go!


 

 Snicker Caramel Apple Pie

Ingredients:

1 pie crust
3 green apples, diced
1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
15-20 mini Snickers, chopped
2 1/2 cups Cool Whip
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
4 oz. softened, cream cheese (or you can substitute 4 oz. vanilla pudding)

Directions:

Combine Cool Whip, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl. Fold in apples and chopped Snickers.

Pour mixture into pie crust and refrigerate at least four hours. 

Prior to serving, top with fresh apples (chopped or sliced) and a few chopped Snickers for garnish, if desired. Finally, drizzle with caramel ice cream topping. Serve immediately.

Notes: This is an homage to that Snickers and Apple "Salad" that you find at pot lucks from time to time...where it is basically Snickers, Apples, and Cool Whip stirred all together...it gives salads a bad name, but it is pretty tasty, nonetheless.


 

Caramel Apple Crumble Pie

Ingredients:

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (half of one stick)
1 large egg
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, loosely measured
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional and to taste
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole rolled old-fashioned oats (not quick cooking or instant)
One (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
One (9-inch) frozen pie crust
Homemade caramel sauce or store bought caramel ice cream topping
Ice cream, whipped topping, or whipped cream, optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power. Allow the butter to cool momentarily so you don't scramble the egg; then add the egg, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt. Whisk to combine until batter is smooth.

Add the flour and oats. Stir to incorporate. Fold in the apple pie filling. Pour filling mixture into frozen pie crust and lightly smooth filling with a spatula. Place pie crust on a cookie sheet or aluminum foil (in case the filling overflows while baking).

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until top is golden and filling has just set and is not jiggly. When you remove the pie from the oven, the filling might have risen, but as it cools, it will flatten out.

Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes prior to serving. You can top your pie with ice cream, caramel sauce, whipped topping, or whipped cream, if desired.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes: People were divided on this one. Some people didn't care for it, while others liked it. I thought it was good. Not my most favorite apple pie I have ever had, but still tasty.
