08: Pies and Tarts |
|
Print this Recipe The old saw runs that nothing is as American as apple pie--but pecan pie, pumpkin pie, peach pie, shoofly pie, sweet potato pie, French silk pie and Key lime pie are all runners-up. The variety of pie and tart recipes available to the contemporary baker is almost infinite. There are summer pies and winter pies, Southern pies and New England pies, cream pies and meringue pies, fruit pies and nut pies, fancy pies and plain pies--and, the same is true for tarts. Pies and tarts allow for a great deal of creativity, since their fillings are such a matter of imagination and personal taste. Organize all of your own recipes with the Cook'n Recipe Software. Watch and see how easy it is! Pies have been a favorite throughout the BakeOff® Contest, and many from the early days of the contest are still popular, like 1949's Company's Coming Cashew Pie, 1951's French Silk Chocolate Pie and 1952's Caramel Candy Pie. Women didn't have the easy access to supermarkets that we have today, so most of these early recipes could be made out of ordinary pantry ingredients. The pies of the 1960s tended to be fluffy, pretty creations, like 1960's Chocolate Dream Pie or 1964's Strawberry Devonshire Pie. The 1970s for the most part were not an innovative time for pies, but saw the rise of "squares," pielike bar cookies. The most recent pies have shown a complex exploration and adaption of U.S. regional flavors, such as 1992's Pennsylvania Dutch Cake and Custard Pie, or 1994's Buttered Rum Banana Pecan Pie, which is a version of a New Orleans specialty. No matter what goes into dessert pies or tarts, smiles and delight are sure to result because, for all their complex variation, they are always the surefire crowd-pleasing combination of a crispy crust, something sweet and the cook's own creativity.
