Oooh, la la.  If you need chocolate like I need chocolate, well, we're in good company.  This is one lush pie, so rich.  The peppermint touch is just right.  

"Custardy coconut, crunchy almonds, rich chocolate...all settled in a delicate crust.  It's dreamy and rich.  If you like Almond Joys, you'll love this."

"Combine so many things to love and you get this pie: a lightly carmelized blend of maple syrup and bourbon and butter, over fresh peaches, all topped with a toasted pecan streusel that crunches just a bit.  The judges thought it deserved a Best of Show award."

When you’re looking for a special dessert, here’s one that brings together the best of the season:  apples, caramel and nuts. Sweet & nutty, just like the holidays!

Smash those peaches!  Really.  Get the best ones, the tree-ripened ones, and smash a few to cook up as a glaze that will hold the remaining fresh, uncooked slices together in a crisp crust.  Oh!  So good.

If you are lucky enough to have boysenberries, you are one lucky baker!  And here's a recipe to make you feel even luckier.

It's made with fresh apricots, those delicate, sweet gems of June and July.  They shine in this pie!  It's also an easy pie to make.

It's got that tangy yet creamy thing going, highlighted by the gingersnap crust.  It's a nice change from most citrus pies.  And it won a blue ribbon at the state fair pie contest in the "Citrus" category!

Blueberry pies can be unpredictable -- either runny or too much thickener.  Not this one, though!  It takes advantage of the thickening power of pectin and creates beautiful slices every time.  This recipe uses less sugar than most recipes, which is also great.

It's part cookie, part pie and part tart.  The crust is flavorful and brings out the best in the fruit -- in this case, apricots and raspberries.  It's very amenable to a combination of fruit that you like!

For those of us who like coconut, this is a winner!  In fact, a variation of this -- a meringue version rather than cream-topped -- won "Best of Show" at the NM State Fair Pie Contest.  It's an extravagent dessert, one that makes people happy.  (Doesn't all pie make people happy?)

A New Year's favorite or for any time you are ready to celebrate something that looks like snow and tastes like heaven!  

Pears  provide a lovely, subtle and elegant flavor for pies and tarts.  Add a little ginger, however, and you've got a new fall and winter favorite!

I love the tartness of the fruit with the flaky pastry. And since you can get frozen cherries and raspberries, you can make it anytime!
