2. Almond-Browned Butter Plum Pie
If you are a crust addict, this Almond-Browned Butter Plum Pie is your dream come true. We added super-fine almond flour to the dough for subtle crunch—the perfect contrast to the juicy, sugared plum slices inside.
3. Roasted Strawberry Hand Pies
When chef Lisa Donovan of Nashville, Tennessee was forming her strawberry filling recipe, she had one particular taste in mind: the sweet strawberry flavor of a spoonful of Smucker’s jam. Slow roasting the berries in sugar yielded the strawberry essence she was searching for.
Nothing compares to fresh cherry pie. This Washington Cherry Pie is simple and classic, sure to become a staple on your summer to-do list.
I’m looking for a recipe for a rhubarb pie with a sour cream topping. My Grandma used to make it and she called it a Bavarian style rhubarb pie. Any ideas where I can find a recipe like this?
Mary,
Thank you for reaching out! We have lots of recipes with rhubarb like our:
Rhubarb Pistachio Pie, Rhubarb and Brown Butter Tartlets Rhubarb and Almond Tart( and more!). We do not have any with a sour cream topping, but hopefully these will help. Happy Baking!
What about a good strawberry Rhubarb pie? I made one recently which was extremely tart with rhubarb and you couldn’t take the strawberry. Not a hit as my family really likes more strawberry with a hint of Rhubarb. Help?
