It won "Best of Show" at the NM State Fair Pie Contest! The filling features lime and has a hint of orange. Multiple layers mean a tropical sensation with every bite. The nutty crust adds a crunchy touch.
Combine two favorites -- blueberries and lemons -- and what do you get? A new favorite! The blueberries are nestled in a sweet-tart lemon custard, all enthroned on a buttery crust.
Prep Time: 20 minutes, plus the time to make, chill, and roll out the crust. If you put on a lattice top that adds time. I am notoriously slow, so it took me awhile!
Usually I say peach pie is my favorite, but this fresh peach and raspberry tart might be even better. The nutty almond crust says "I love you" to the peaches, the raspberries add color, and the not-too-sweet peach glaze holds it all together with joy. Try it!
There's something seductive about pears and almnds together, like they were born to love each other. This tart will arouse applause from those lucky enough to be served a slice!
If you love figs, you'll love this! A slightly nutty crust, vanilla custard, the sweet burst of fresh figs, and a hint of sweet/tart chocolate bring people back for more.
Mmmmm, for those of us who love fresh figs, this is a gem! The crust has a cookie quality to it -- not too sweet -- that embraces the cream cheese filling, which compliments the fresh figs. Then there's the chocolate drizzle, which brings it all together for an easy early fall treat.
There's something about locally grown cherries, tart, bright red, enrobed in a sweet vanilla and almond sauce, all wrapped in a flaky crust, that just makes my mouth water. And this version won a blue ribbon in 2008!
Tarts have their own character, different from pies, and deserve to have their own pastry! This recipe will provide that richer, more flavorful crust that complements a delicate tart.

Hi Anne,
I'm going to add an olive oil pie crust recipe to the "crusts" category of Pie Pals. Let me say, however, that I've never made...
