Ingredients
Scale
- Classic Apple Pie: 2 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- No-Bake Chocolate Cream Pie: 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
- 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
- Pumpkin Pie: 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 large eggs
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, mix the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour together.
- Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a pie dish. Pour the apple mixture into the crust and dot with small pieces of butter.
- Roll out the second crust (if using homemade) and place it on top of the filling. Seal the edges and cut a few slits to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue to bake for another 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
- Prepare the pudding according to the package directions using cold milk. Whisk until it thickens, then pour into the graham cracker crust.
- Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form, then spread over the pudding layer. Garnish with chocolate shavings and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, spices, and eggs.
- Gradually stir in the evaporated milk until smooth. Pour filling into an unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then lower oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
For a fruity twist, substitute apples with pears or peaches. Consider using almond milk for the chocolate pie for a dairy-free option.
