I'm talking Apple pie, Cherry pie, Apricot pie, Pear and Chocolate pie, Strawberry and Rhubarb pie, Raspberry and Apple pie any type of fantastic pie that you have tried and LOVE! I'm even thinking I need to make my a lemon meringue pie, and a pumpkin pie. I have a hankering for PIE! But most of all BLUEBERRY PIE
(also probably because my house is tidy for once so I need to bake heh!)
I will have to try and find my lemon meringue pie recipe for you hun. not sure where it is but my memory might be working well enough as is
Shortcrust pastry base
1 tin sweetened condensed milk
3 Eggs - separated
Lemon juice (cant remember how much, try doing it to taste)
castor sugar
Combine sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and lemon juice. Pour into shortcrust pastry base. Blend egg whites and gradually add sugar until stiff peaks form. Put this over lemon mix and bake at 150 degs (i think) until the peaks have golden tips.
I think that is pretty darn close to the recipe I was given by a pro. It should work.
1 pkt choc biscuits crushed (for base)
60grms butter melted
1 tbsp milk
250g cream cheese softened
3/4 cup icing sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter (i like the crunchy!)
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
30g dark choc
(you could use reduced fat or light ingredients)
crush biscuits , add milk and butter,press base into chosen pan, chill for 30 mins
meanwhile place cream cheese, sugar and peanut butter in elect mix, beat until combined, gradually add condensed milk.
spread mixture onto crust cover loosely with plastic wrap and put in fridge for 3 hrs or overnight.
melt choc and drizzle over top
this is so yummy, has always been a hit .my mum thinks it tastes like a big reeses piece!!

mmmm blueberry pie.
I've got no recipe for you but I read today that a diet that is rich in blueberries reduces muffin tops and hence heart disease.
Go the blueberry!!!
Sift flour, rub in butter. Stir in zest and sugar. Add water, mix with knife.Press together into a ball, make a flatish "disc"
Filling
1/3 cup crushed amaretti bikkies
1/2 cup plain flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup caster sugar
3 1/4 cup blueberries.
2 Tbs blueberry jam
Oven on 200c.
Mix bikkies,flour,cinnamon 1 1/2 Tbs of sugar. Roll out dough to a circle, sprinkle with mixture, and put on blueberries. Bring up the edges to make a "freeform" crust/edge. Brush with milk and sprinkle with left over sugar. Bake 30 min. Warm jam and brush over pie.
Ok its decided I'm making blueberry pie tomorrow night. I found a good recipe in my Martha Baking Handbook. I'll cheat though and use a bought short crust base and cut out stars of short crust pastry and layer them. I like your filling though PB I like the idea of using amaretti biscuits instead of corn flour. Are these tried and true recipes?
Because I'm lazy I googled this recipe instead of typing it myself. It's absolutely delish and the pecans and oats make it feel like it's healthy
I make it with thinly sliced pink lady (or similar) apples and a punnet of blueberries
Blueberry Pecan Crumble
If you don’t have enough blueberries, toss in any other fruit like chopped apple, plums, peaches, bananas or pears.
* 100 g (4 oz) pecan pieces 100 g (4 oz) plain flour
* 120 g old-fashioned/rolled oats
* 100 g packed dark brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* A pinch of salt
* 8 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
* 400 g blueberries
* 1/2 lemon, juiced
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 2 tablespoons plain flour
Preheat oven to 180?C, 350?F, gas mark 4. In a large bowl combine pecans, most of the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt and butter, and rub until combined and mixture resembles bread crumbs. Place the blueberries in a baking dish and squeeze the lemon juice over. Sprinkle with sugar, cinammon and the remaining flour, and toss to coat. Scatter the topping over the berries and bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes.
ETA - it's not quite a pie but it's too yummy to be left out while we're talking hot fruity deserts. I love it with a nice rich custard.
Ok this is the BEST pie recipe in the world, I got in from a old friend in Canada..
(its not made from Turtles)
TURTLE CARAMEL PIE
Ing
1 cup pecans
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1/4 cup corn syrup
2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
Directions
Place pecans into bottom of pie shell.
To Make Filling: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, cook condensed milk, brown sugar, butter and corn syrup. Stir and bring to a boil; stir continuously for at least 5 minutes. Remove from heat, then slowly beat with a spoon until mixture starts to thicken; will take about 2 minutes. Be sure not to over beat or it will harden too much. Pour mixture into pie shell; cover and refrigerate for about an hour. Filling ingredients may be halved to make for a less rich pie.
To Make Topping: In a medium saucepan, cook chocolate and butter over low heat until melted together. Stir in condensed milk; mix well. Remove from heat; allow to cool just enough so that yolk won't cook when added, but not so cool that the chocolate hardens; cooling time will be about 3 minutes. Stir in egg yolk to chocolate mixture; spread over cooled filling. Place pie back in refrigerator and cool for another hour.
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
