It turns out that, because of its texture, pumpkin pie is perfectly pipe-able. Try out this frosting as the ideal complement to any Fall cupcake flavor.

Ingredients

All you need to make this frosting is pumpkin pie without a crust. You can use any recipe that you like, but I’ve included an easy one below that works really well. It uses eggs, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and salt.

This dessert isn’t technically a pie. It’s a cross between a berry pie and a cobbler. It has pie filling, but there is no bottom crust. I put a simple filling – in this case, cranberry and cherry – into a deep dish and top with buttery, flaky puff pastry!

Ingredients

Because my recipe is so simple, you’ll only need basic pantry staples plus frozen cherries, frozen cranberries, an orange, and store-bought puff pastry.

I readily admit that I’m a huge sucker for anything with crumb topping. I love sneaking over to the pie pan throughout the day to pick big, fat crumbs off of this dessert. (Does anyone else do this?)

This apple pie is a regular in our household – right up there with my apple cupcakes. Make sure that you have whipped cream or ice cream ready to serve alongside it.

If you’re looking to up your pie game this holiday season, this orange pie is the way to go. The unbaked filling consists of a flavored egg yolk and gelatin base that thickens the pie the way cornstarch does in a cream pie.

Meringue or cream lightens and supports the flavored mixture, turning what would otherwise be a thick custard into a light and silky confection.
