Whoever came up with National Pie Day, observed January 23, is officially my new best friend! I’ll gladly take this new chance to celebrate a delicious form of dessert, wouldn’t you?
To help you celebrate the upcoming day in true Real Moms style, I present a few promising pie recipes to whet your appetite. Let me know if you make any of ‘em—I can always clear my schedule for fresh-baked pie! Once you’re done reading here, remember to hop over to my video blog, Skinny Kitchen Diaries, and check out Dr. Fuhrman’s blueberry pie recipe mentioned below.
- Joel Furhman’s Wild Apple Blueberry Pie. A true culinary achievements, balancing healthy twists with classic flavors (hello, almond and chia seed crust).
- Smitten Kitchen’s S’more Pie, based on a Gourmet recipe. It seems a little, well, juvenile, but looks can be deceiving—this chocolate and marshmallow treat is all grown up.
- Just Putzing Around the Kitchen created this tantalizing Cinnamon Apple Crunch Pie, boasting some of your classic apple flavor with a little extra warmth from the ginger.
- Better Homes and Garden’s Lemon Velvet Cream Pie, a citrus custard pie with plenty of zing. This one is getting me inspired to celebrate pie day a few days early!
- Bon Appetit’s Lattice-Topped Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie, delicious filling in a nice easy crust…though the intricate lattice top is not something I’ve ever personally mastered.
