Pumpkin Filling

Pecan Filling

Method

Pie Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pie Crust

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the unsalted butter, and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll Out the Dough

    After the dough has chilled, roll it out on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Place the rolled-out dough into the pie dish and trim the excess. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Apple Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Apple Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Pie

    Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Top with the second crust if desired, seal the edges, and cut slits for steam to escape.

Cherry Filling

  1. 5

    Prepare the Cherry Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Pie

    Pour the cherry filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Top with the second crust if desired, seal the edges, and cut slits for steam to escape.

Pumpkin Filling

  1. 7

    Prepare the Pumpkin Filling

    In a large bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, and evaporated milk until smooth.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Pie

    Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Pecan Filling

  1. 9

    Prepare the Pecan Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, granulated sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

  2. 10

    Assemble the Pie

    Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
