Answer 2

Buy some frozen pie crusts and then just look up recipes for pie.



Pumpkin pie recipe is on the cans of pumpkin, for instance. Basically you simply throw all the ingredients into the blender until smooth, then pour it into the crust and bake. You can also make sweet potato pie which replaces the pumpkin with peeled, diced and boiled sweet potatoes.



Apple pie isn't very hard to make either. The most time consuming thing is peeling and coring the apples.



I'd also bring a batch of cookies. They obviously impressed your boyfriend.

Oh my God. I have THEEE best recipe for you! I have never had anything like it, even though it sounds like it's a boring, every day traditional dessert. Just try it sometime. You'll be amazed, I promise!! Heat oven to 350. In a square baking dish place 1 stick butter and melt in oven. Mix batter with hand mixer: 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 3/4 cup milk When butter is melted remove from oven and put 1 cup of raspberries and 1 cup of blueberries on top of butter. Dont mix. Pour batter on top of berries and butter. Dont mix. Bake for about 1/2 hour until top is golden brown.

Apple pie is really really easy to make. You can even buy the pastry pre-made (in the UK anyway) then all you have to do is the filling and rolling the pastry. I don't think you can beat the sweet and savouriness of an apple pie. I don't have a recipe to hand but you can find plenty on line. It will taste so much better when you put the effort in though. : )

Answer 5

Pies are incredibly easy to make. Pie crusts are found in the grocer's dairy case--they're already made and all you do with them is unroll them and put them in a pie plate, fill them with canned pie filling, and put the top crust on and bake. The instructions are on both the cans of pie filling, and the pie crust boxes.



Don't try making pumpkin or pecan--they're harder and require recipes to come out well--instead, try apple--just line a pie plate with the ready-made crust, pour in two cans of apple pie filling, and top them with Streusel topping: a mixture of Bisquick, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter--just mix together a cup and a half of the Bisquick with two tablespoons of melted butter and a tablespoon of cinnamon, add half a cup of brown sugar and mix it up until it's crumbly, then layer this on top of the pie filling. Bake it at 375 for about 45 minutes, or until the edges are brown and golden, and the top is slightly bubbled (make sure you place this on a cookie sheet before putting it in your oven--it will drip and burn and be hard to clean off the oven bottom if you don't.) If you don't like apple, use any fruit pie filling--but make sure you fill the bottom crust up to the top--and heap a little more on too. Pie filling cooks down a bit. That's all there is to pie. Not complicated at all. If you like a top crust, use the other ready-made crust in the box (there are always two) and center it on top of the filled crust, then use a fork to press the edges around the pie plate together. Trim off any excess crust that hangs over the rim, but leave enough to seal the two crusts together. Then cut some "vents" in the top crust--a few wide slits--so steam can escape during cooking.



Or you can try this super-easy but really tasty pie that's very different, but really good:



Soda Cracker Pie

3 egg whites

1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp baking powder

14 - 16 soda crackers; (saltine crackers) crumbled into rough pieces. Don't mash them into a powder. put them in a plastic storage bag and just crumble them up with your hands.

1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped fine

whipped cream or Cool Whip--enough to cover the top of the pie.



Beat egg whites until foamy.

Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. (Use your hand mixer for this)

Add vanilla.

Fold in remaining ingredients.

Pour into well buttered 9 inch pie pan.

Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.

Cool and top with whipped cream (or Cool Whip).



Keep in the fridge until you're ready to eat it. Believe it or not, this pie tastes like a cross between pecan pie and apple pie! Don't overbake it. You only need to bake it for 30 minutes. And cool COMPLETELY before putting on the whipped cream.

Answer 6

best bet is buy one of those frozen pies from the store and cook it and just put it in a pie pan lol you could do that and do something small like cookies and the box pie

Answer 8

The easiest no fail pie is the original Pecan Pie on the Karo Corn Syrup bottle Just be very careful not to burn yourself when removing the pie from the oven. It can be made 24 hours ahead of time, cooked then covered and refrigerated. Pecan Pie is great reheated a bit and served with Vanilla Ice Cream.



CLASSIC KARO PECAN PIE

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Bake Time: 60 to 70 minutes

Chill Time: 2 hours

Yield: 8 servings



1 cup Karo® Light OR Dark Corn Syrup

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 teaspoon Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract

1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) pecans

1 (9-inch) unbaked or frozen** deep-dish pie crust, look for them in market's frozen section.



Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla using a spoon. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into pie crust.

Bake on center rack of oven for 60 to 70 minutes (see tips for doneness, below). Cool for 2 hours on wire rack before serving.



**To use prepared frozen pie crust: Place cookie sheet in oven and preheat oven as directed. Pour filling into frozen crust and bake on preheated cookie sheet.



RECIPE TIPS: Pie is done when center reaches 200°F. Tap center surface of pie lightly - it should spring back when done. For easy clean up, spray pie pan with cooking spray before placing pie crust in pan. If pie crust is over browning, cover edges with foil. Cool, cover carefully with a foil tent or place in a pie holder and refrigerate until serving time. Can prepared 24 hours in advance.



High Altitude Adjustments: Reduce sugar to 2/3 cup and increase butter to 3 tablespoons. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. This is like if you live in Colorado.



VARIATION: coarsely chopped walnuts may be substituted for pecans to make a walnut pie.



Here is another good pie recipe. Many pumpkin chiffon pie recipes require using raw eggs and no cooking, which doesn't bother me, but many people are afraid of eating raw eggs. This recipe uses a cooked filling.



PUMPKIN CHIFFON PIE WITH WALNUT CRUST

3 eggs, separated

1 c. sugar

1 1/4 c. canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling

1/2 c. milk

1 tbsp. orange juice

1/2 tsp. grated orange rind

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tbsp. unflavored gelatin, like Knox

1/4 c. cold water



To the slightly beaten egg yolks, add 1/2 cup sugar, pumpkin, milk, orange juice, rind, salt and spices. Cook in double boiler until thick. Soften gelatin in cold water and add to hot pumpkin mixture. Mix thoroughly and cool. When mixture starts to thicken, fold in stiffly beaten egg whites to which the remaining 1/2 cup sugar has been added.

Pour into walnut crust and chill in refrigerator. Serve with topping of whipped cream decorated with walnut halves.





WALNUT CRUST:



3/4 c. finely chopped walnut kernels

2 tbsp. sugar



Combine sugar and nuts thoroughly. Then press in a thin layer over the bottom and sides of a well buttered pie pan (8 inch size). If the pan is quite deep, 1 cup of walnuts should be used instead of 3/4. This crust should not be baked and will lend itself for use with any chiffon or cream filling. After chilling, the nuts cling to the filling and may easily be removed as a crust when the pie is cut.



Edit: If you can't deal with baking your own pies, from almost scratch, you should be able to find Mrs. Smith's pies in your grocer's freezer. Mrs. Smith's Sweet Potato Pie and Coconut Custard are two of our favorites. Just hope no one asks for the recipe.
