Pie Decorating

Use your pie dough scraps, cookie cutters, and colorful sprinkles to make a pie for a special person. No frosting required.

Brownie Pie

For those of you who prefer chocolate to cooked fruit, this is the pie for you. Pretty much just brownie batter (2 eggs, not 3) baked between pie dough - with marshmallows and caramel sauce in the middle of the brownie batter (although you don't know they are there after it's baked, but not sure yet if they make a difference). Since calcium is very important, be sure to have a scoop of vanilla ice cream with it.

Autumn Pie Crust

Using my smallest cookie cutters, I put leaves and acorns along the edge of my apple pie. I just used the extra pie dough that I cut off from the edge. This is a very easy thing to do for an impressive look. You can use shapes for whatever your occasion, or use letter shapes to spell out a name or happy birthday. Since this was also for someone's birthday, I put their initial in the middle of the pie with a small heart on each side. I recommend using foil or other means to keep the edges from getting too dark, and pulling off the edge cover the last bit of cooking time so they still get a nice color.
