Maple Walnut Cranberry Pie

Squirrels aren’t the only creatures craving nuts in autumn! And when it comes to the accouterments, don’t opt for summer cherries or blueberries — cranberries are the tart fall fruit of choice for this sweet concoction.

Every good pie (even the pizza kind) starts with the dough. Pick up a mixing bowl, pastry blender, and a good ol’ fashion rolling pin to ensure any crust you make is always just the way you like it.

“Grandma’s” Apple Pie

While we always love encouraging experimentation and ways for your menu to stand out, sometimes the stalwarts are still the best. There’s a reason this recipe for “Grandma’s” Apple Pie has over twelve thousand reviews!

Apple pie is a gooey, delectable treat served à la mode or simply by itself. It is the picture-perfect pie for fall’s favorite fruit.

To replicate this fan favorite, try using a portion scale, dough cutter, and spiralizer to quickly peel your apple of choice.

Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Pie

Our previous recipe may be traditional and safe, but this one ain’t your grandma’s pumpkin pie. Entice your customers with this culinary twist on a holiday staple by introducing pumpkin to its forgotten soulmate — chocolate.

This recipe brilliantly utilizes dark chocolate by sandwiching the spicy pumpkin mixture between a chocolate crust and a topping. The result is a fun, festive, and delicious pumpkin pie that will dare customers to try and resist.

To make pies with complex fillings, you’ll need a good food processor. Complete your pie-making purchases with a pie slicer and ensure everyone gets an equal slice!
