We are moving across the country next month and are slowly emptying out our freezer. I have two frozen boxes of Pillsberry piecrust. Each box contains two circles to roll out and use for pies.
I feel like we are a bit in a “shoulder season” for pie. Apple and pumpkin pie don’t seem right to eat when it’s warm in springlike, yet we are a bit too early for ripe and not super expensive fresh fruits like peaches, rhubarb, strawberries, or cherries. If these were fill and bake crusts I would whip up some coconut cream or chocolate cream pies, or if they were graham cracker, I would do a Keylime pie or lemon tart. But I am a bit stumped. What fruits are in season that would work well for rollout crusts? Help me think out of the (pie crust) box! |
| Lemon cream! |
| Quiche obviously! |
|
Quiche
Chicken pot pie |
| You could just blind bake them and make lemon meringue or fresh strawberry or a cream pie. Or quiche. Or chicken pot pie. |
|
fudge brownie pie
butter chess pie |
| You can use Pillsbury crusts pies that don’t have to be baked; just blind bake the crust. I use those crusts all of the time for French Silk pie. |
| I would do a pot pie or blind bake and do a custard-type pie |

| Thanks all! I didn’t realize a blind bake would work so well with the roll outs. Appreciate the tips! |
| Chicken pot pie. |
|
Pastiera! Neapolitan wheat berry pie, a traditional Italian Easter dessert

| My vote would be for chicken pot pie and chocolate cream pie! |
|
Ricotta pie is another Italian option.
Banana cream. Quiche. Butterscotch. |
| isn't it always pie season??? |
