Here are 10 tips to making better pies. These homemade pie baking tips will help you make yummy pies just like Grandma's with less difficulty, whether you're a beginner or more experienced baker!

10 Tips To Make Better Pies – Homemade Pie Baking Tips

If you love baking homemade pies from scratch and have the time to do so, then go for it, but don’t feel guilty if you can’t. There are many ways to get that homemade taste without as much work. For example, say your family loves homemade pumpkin pie but every year you notice that they only eat the filling and leave most of the crust. Then, this year, don’t put your pumpkin pie filling in a crust. Just pour it into a well greased baking dish or pan to bake. This will save you time and calories.

If your family loves homemade apple pie but you don’t have time to make a pie crust then make an apple crisp instead.

For homemade cinnamon rolls: Use frozen dough — most people can’t tell the difference. I’ve told this story before but it is a perfect example of what I mean. My grandmother-in-law made the best “homemade” noodles that everyone fought over and raved about at every family get-together. No one made noodles like grandma’s. One day I decided to ask grandma what her secret was and she took me to her freezer and laughingly, pulled out a bag of frozen egg noodles. Everyone assumed that she had made them from scratch.

Make your life easy and take shortcuts when you can. It is much less expensive to use convenience foods sometimes than to go out to eat.

 

Here are some more homemade pie baking tips for experienced bakers and beginning bakers:

  • For something different, try serving your apple pie with butter pecan ice cream instead of the usual vanilla and/or top it with a little caramel ice cream topping.
  • Replace 1/4 of the white sugar in your apple pie recipe with brown sugar and/or replace your regular spices with pumpkin pie spice *(recipe below).
  • You can give canned apple pie filling more of a homemade flavor by adding apple pie or pumpkin pie spice* to it.
  • Lime juice works much better than lemon juice to prevent fruits like apples from turning brown.
  • When making fruit pies, microwave the filling for 5-7 minutes before pouring it into the crust. This prevents the crust from becoming overly brown before the filling is completely cooked. In the case of an apple pie, you won’t have to worry about partially cooked apples.
  • When making pumpkin pie: Before you pour in the filling, bake the crust for 2-3 minutes just until it starts puffing a little on the bottom. Watch it carefully because it only takes a minute and you don’t want to totally cook it. This really helps prevent those sometimes very soggy pie crusts.
  • If you like cheese with your apple pie, mix 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese into your pie crust and then layer the apple filling with another cup of grated cheese.
  • If your homemade pies are too runny, add 1 Tbsp. of tapioca to your filling.
  • When making pecan pie, melt the butter in a saucepan until it turns golden brown. Watch it so it doesn’t burn. This adds the most wonderful caramel like flavor to your pie. For my favorite pecan pie recipe, check out page 254 in our Dining on A Dime Cookbook. I received this recipe many years ago from my sister-in-law Mary and have yet to taste one that comes close to it for flavor.
  • When making a graham cracker crust, add a little cinnamon to the mix.
  • When you need to make a graham cracker crust, crush enough crumbs to fill a large container or coffee can. The next time you make a graham cracker crust, you can just scoop out the amount you need.
This is the VERY BEST homemade pie crust recipe! It tastes great and has a great texture to make the perfect pies!

The Very Best Pie Crust Recipe

3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/4 cups shortening, cold
1 egg, cold
1 Tbsp. vinegar, cold
5 Tbsp. cold water
sugar

Mix flour, salt and 2 Tbsp. sugar in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives. Add egg, vinegar and 3 tablespoons water. Mix lightly. If dough is too dry, add more water. Mix with hands. Don’t over mix. Mix just until the dough sticks together. Divide into thirds. Roll out to make 3 pie crusts. When using the crust for the top of the pie sprinkle sugar on top. Crust can be frozen in slightly flatten balls and then defrosted and rolled out when ready to use. Makes 3 crusts.

This homemade graham cracker pie crust recipe makes a quick and easy base for your homemade pies that you can make in minutes with ingredients you already have!

 

Graham Cracker Crust Recipe

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

Combine all of the ingredients and press into a 9 inch pie pan.

Other options:

  • You can use chocolate wafer cookies in place of the graham crackers or save cookie crumbs in  a container in the freezer to use for this too.
  • I also like to crush many graham crackers at once and store in an air tight container. Then all I need to do when I want a crust is to measure out what I need.
  • You can use a little cinnamon in the crust too or use cinnamon graham crackers (cutting back on some of the sugar).
The Best Homemade Apple Pie Recipe - This homemade apple pie recipe has been in our family for 75 years or more and still takes the #1 spot at any meal when served.

The Best Homemade Apple Pie Recipe

This homemade apple pie recipe has been in our family for 75 years or more and still takes the #1 spot at any meal when served.

My mom bakes unbelievably good pies. Even her crust is delicious and this is her apple pie recipe. I have made it for years and now Tawra makes it, too. Even though I tease my daughter about her cooking at times, she has certainly learned how to make a mean apple pie with this homemade apple pie recipe!

Here are a couple of tips before you start making your homemade apple pie:

  • No recipe is set in stone. You can make some modifications to the ingredients in this apple pie recipe to adjust to your tastes. For example, you might add more or less cinnamon or you might use all white sugar or less sugar. For your first try, though, I suggest that you make this apple pie recipe exactly as it is written and then adjust to your tastes the next time you make one. When people adjust things before making the apple pie recipe the way it is, I often hear, “My pie didn’t turn out well but I made it just like you said. I only changed this and this and this…” and by the time she has finished explaining, I discover that she has only used one of the original ingredients from my recipe. : )
  • What kind of apples do I use? Some people are dogmatic about what kind of apples they use and will only use baking apples for pies. I’m not so fussy and I use whatever apples are on sale or that I happen to have on hand. I personally don’t like the super tart taste from baking apples and I always needed to add more sugar when I used them. It also seems to take longer to bake using baking apples. My favorite thing to do with this homemade apple pie recipe is to use a couple of different kinds of apples. Don’t have a heart attack but, yes, I have used Delicious apples before.
  • One of the best things I have discovered after years of baking pies is to cook my fruit pie filling in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and then pour it into the crust. Two of my pet peeves about pies are soggy crusts and partially cooked apples in a pie. If you don’t partially cook the pie filling ahead of time, the crust will sometimes start turning too brown before the apples are done cooking. Pre-cooking the pie filling prevents overbrowning the crust.
  • Here is another post that can help you with your pie baking, along with a recipe for a delicious homemade pie crust: Homemade Pie Crust

Here is my best apple pie recipe and as a bonus I will  give you a recipe for French apple pie. You use the French apple pie when you have only 1 crust for the bottom and need something to top it with. It is a cross between a pie and apple crisp.

Grandma’s Apple Pie Recipe

6-7 cups of medium apples, cored, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 Tbsp. flour
2 Tbsp. butter

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl except the butter. Microwave this filling mixture 2-3 minutes. Then pour into the pie crust. Dot with chunks of the butter and top with the other crust. Cut steam slits in the top crust and sprinkle the top with sugar. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Then turn down to 350 degrees and bake for 35-45 minutes, until apples are tender and juices are bubbling nicely out of the steam slits.

French Apple Pie Topping

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour

Mix ingredients until crumble-like and sprinkle over the top of the apples. Bake as usual.

This easy homemade apple pie filling recipe is a great way to use apples! It makes the most delicious apple pies and they're especially great for holidays!

Apple Pie Filling

How to make homemade apple pie filling

My mom makes the best apple pie. We have always loved it. I was talking to her and asked her how she makes it taste so good. She said “I used canned apples.” HA! All this time we thought it was some great secret and it was just canned apples!

If you are like me and have fresh apples piling up everywhere, here is a recipe I love that tastes amazing and freezes really well. I keep bags of it in the freezer to pop into a pie crust when I need it. Make this now and have it ready for those more hectic days during the holidays when you need a quick dessert or apple pie.

Part of the reason canned apples sometimes taste better is because the apples are fully cooked and nice and tender so make sure your apples are well cooked. 

This apple pie filling recipe can be slow cooked in a crock pot on low until apples are tender or cooked as the recipe says in a Dutch oven.

Apple Pie Filling Recipe

9 cups baking apples (I use what I have for apples), peeled, cored & sliced
1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
5 cups water
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. nutmeg

Toss apples with lemon juice and set aside. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a Dutch oven and bring to a boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add apples and return to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until apples are tender (6-10 minutes). Cool for 30 minutes. Then ladle into freezer containers or bake in pies. Makes enough for two 9 inch pies.

You can cook in the crock pot on low for 4 hours or until apples are tender.

Pour into pie crust and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Then turn the oven down to 350 degrees for 45 minutes. When a knife is inserted into the center of the pie and comes out clean, it is done.

1 pkg. (3 oz.) cherry  gelatin
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/4 cups water, divided
1 (8 oz.) container whipped topping
10 maraschino cherries, chopped
1/2 cup pecan pieces ( could use walnut)

Spread crumbs in a 9×13 pan. Bring 1 cup of the water to a boil and dissolve gelatin in it. Stir in remaining water and lemon juice into gelatin. Refrigerate until partially set. Fold in whipped topping, cherries, and pecans. Spread over crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to serve. If desired, garnish with whipped topping, maraschino cherries, chocolate shavings or chocolate chips.

    Love your simple recipes.. Question Why do you prefer cornstarch in your Meringue instead of cream of tarter?

      I really don’t know Brenda. This is about a 100 yr old recipe and I have used it for almost 50 yrs myself. I love it. It is the only meringue I have ever made or even known anyone else to make that does not “weep” at all. Even on a hot humid Aug. day in Kansas. It might be the cornstarch that makes the difference but don’t know for sure. It always makes perfect meringue.

    I was making a graham cracker crumb crust for a pie this past weekend and didn’t have enough graham crackers. I had about 1/2 of what was called for. I did have Nilla wafer cookies, so I crushed those for the rest of the amount needed and my crust turned out great. Everyone loved it and kept trying to guess what I had done differently.

      Yes Brenda that is so good that you were using what you had on hand. You can use any kind of cookie in place of graham crackers. Also if your family eats the same kind of cookie and there is sometimes one or two left in the bag (I know it is hard to imagine a cookie being left :):) ) then keep a bag or container in the freezer of those odds and ends ones and when you have enough you can use them to either make a crust or to sprinkle on top of desserts, ice cream, puddings etc.

    Are the recipes you have in your cookbook good for diabetics? I am a type 2 diabetic so must be careful with a lot of sugar and carbs. I like a lot of your recipes but must check on the sugar and carbs first.

      Charlotte our book is not a diabetic cookbook but we have a ton of diabetics who love using our cookbook because there are many recipes diabetics can use and what they like even more is that the recipes are so easy and simple that they can easily make adjustments to them for their own needs.

    Jill try adding half pint heavy whipping cream to your cherry pie no top crust.
