Pie Recipes Needed

[Rondar2001]

Ok, so I somehow got roped into baking a couple of pies for our company picnic. Let me add that I have never baked a pie before, but I figure if I'm going to start it might as well be something my daughter can try.

Basically, I need suggestions of a very tasty but easy to make pie. It will need to be outside, so Ice Cream pies are likely out.

I hope some of you pros can help me out as bragging rights for my department are on the line.

Thanks!

The pumpkin pie recipe Open Original Shared Link is easy to make and tastes delicious!

Strawberry pie! It's the best time of year for it. This always gets lots of compliments.

1 Qt strawberries - wash, hull, and dry them.

1 prebaked pie crust (I use Bette Hagman's Vinegar crust)

Set the prettiest berries point up in the pie crust. Crush the rest with a fork in a separate bowl.

Heat 1/2 to 3/4 c of sugar in 1/2 c of water (depends on how sweet your berries are) until dissolved. Add the crushed berries and all their juice. Mix 1-1/2 T cornstarch with 2T cold water and add to sugar/water/berry mix. Cook and stir until the mixture turns clear and thick. Let cool, then pour over berries in crust. Let set at room temp overnight or the red goo will run when you cut the pie. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

This is my favorite pie. We usually make them at Christmas time, but they are good any time of the year. The crust can be made by crushing gluten free ginger snaps and mix with a small amount of butter until it makes a crust you can form to pan (I used Midel brand). All filling ingredients are already gluten free. Keep pie in a cool dry place, but this pie needs to be refrigerated about 1 day after making. It is even better cold.
