Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie

I needed to make a dessert last week and I came across this pumpkin pie recipe in a Midwest Living magazine. It turned out really good and I will definitely make it again. You can find the recipe here on the Taste of Home website. I used evaporated milk instead of the whipping cream. I also thought about putting a crumb topping on it. You can find the crumb topping recipe here and also the Streusel Pumpkin Pie recipe.

German Apple Pie

This is a super easy recipe. I usually used a tart apple like granny smith, which hold up the best for baking. This time I used some of the free apples that the kids and I found down by the library. They are a nice tart apple like the granny smith and the hubby thought the pie tasted great.

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 c. sour cream
1/3 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
4 cups of apples
pie crust of choice

Mix together the the first 5 ingredients & then add the sliced apple. Mix together well and pour into pie crust. You can either top it with another crust or make up a crumb topping. For my crumb topping is use: 1/2 c sugar, 1/2 c. flour, & 1/4 c. cold butter. Cut butter into the flour & sugar till it forms a crumb mixture.

Bake pie at 350 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool & enjoy! Refrigerate if the whole pie is not devoured.

Streusel Pumpkin Pie Recipe......

Apple Cherry Pie

I absolutely love to make pies and eat them, but Brandon and I have decide to try and eat a little more healthy so the recipe below uses healthier ingredients.

Pie Crust:
1/2 c. coconut oil
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/2 c. white flour
1/2 c. wheat flour
1/4 c. ice water

Put in your mixing bowl coconut oil, sea salt and flour's. Cut all the ingredients today and then add the water gradually. Mix well then added the water till all the ingredients come together and form a nice ball. Then flour your surface and roll out for you pie tin. This recipe makes 1 good size pie crust.

Apple Cherry Pie Filling:
4 apple pealed & sliced up
2 cups of pie cherries
1/3 c. flour
1 Tb. corn starch
1/2 c. demerara cane sugar
1/4 c. honey

This is the amount of apples and cherries I used, but you may need to use more or less depending on your pie pan. I mixed the apples & cherries with the flour, corn starch & cane sugar. Then pour the filling in the pie crust. Drizzle the honey over the filling.

Crumb topping:
1/4 c. butter
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. demerara cane sugar

Mix topping together well and pour on top of the pie. You can sprinkle with cinnamon if you want, which I guess I didn't do.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or till it is nice and browned and filling is bubbling. Let it cool and enjoy.
