Halloween Pie Ideas
Instead of just making the same old pies this October, why not try some spooky new versions of everyone's fall favorites?
Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Pie
Bake your favorite pumpkin pie. A good one to try is Mom's Pumpkin Pie. When making the pastry dough, be sure to save some extra scraps to decorate the top of your pie. Cut the scraps into triangles for the eyes and nose. Go wild with the mouth; a smiling one for a happy jack-o-lantern or a grotesque fang-filled one for a frightful sight. Bake the shaped pastry scraps on a cookie sheet, and then position them on the surface of the cooked pumpkin pie.
Hint: Be sure to make the cutout shapes slightly larger than what you'll think you need, as they will shrink during baking.
Tons of Tiny Pumpkins Pie
Bake your favorite two-crust pie, but instead of covering the top with a plain old piecrust, cut out tons of miniature pumpkins and use these to make the top crust. You'll need to overlap the pumpkins slightly but not completely. Try doing this with American Apple Pie.
Nest of Baby Spiders Pie
Bake your favorite two-crust pie, but this time in place of a plain top crust, cut out a bunch of spider shapes and use these to make the top crust. Each slice of your pie will be like digging into a nest of spiders.
Individual Frightening Faces Tarts
In individual sized tart or pie pans bake up your favorite single pastry crust pies or tarts. One of our favorite recipes is
Mom's Butter Tarts. With the leftover pie pastry scraps cut out circles that will fit over the top of the tarts. Cut scary faces into the circles. Bake the scary faces on a cookie sheet, and then place over the top of the cooked tarts.
Haunted Pie
Bake your favorite cream or pudding pie. Top it with a gigantic volcano shaped mound of whipped cream or whipped topping. Press in two small pieces of candy or dried fruit for eyes, and voila! A ghost! For another fun variation top the whipped cream with gummy worms like in the Chocolate Pudding Pie.
Hideous Hand-Pies
Make your basic hand-pie or turnover recipe and fill each with a pureed gooseberry pie filling. The green color of the gooseberries adds just the right touch of slimy green to suggest little pus-filled packages. Ewwww! The Cajun Sweet Dough is a perfect crust for these horrid little treats!
