7 Homemade Pie Recipes

*We’re so thrilled to have our contributor Julie with us today sharing this amazing collection of homemade pie recipes!*

Good morning from, Michigan! Autumn is peaking here at redheadcandecorate.com headquarters and the Fall foliage is so breath taking, I thought you might like a snap shot (below) I took yesterday when I arrived home. These are the side steps leading down into our back yard and this is one of my favorite views on our property. You can spot the “burning bush” to the left that begins to “burn” right around our oldest’s birthday which sure enough is coming up this Friday.

I like reminding Daphne every year and I think she enjoys the idea that a bush actually becomes most beautiful on her birthday. With all of these beautiful Fall gifts that Mother Nature provides, and with the anticipation of the holidays beginning, I can’t resist thinking about food. Ha! I know that might sound funny, but I think it has something to do with the cooler temps. Yes indeed, this time of year puts me in the mood for baking and today I have “7 Homemade Pie Recipes” (aren’t we lucky!) that are perfect for Fall, Thanksgiving, or any time of year, really. Maybe you can bookmark or even pin your favorite to try when you are ready…

 

First, I decided to include 3 pies that I make every single year for my family. They are very simple pie recipes and if you aren’t much of a baker, I promise these pies will have you feeling like you are. I should note that the first 2 pies are made with a pie crust that is actually made in the pie plate and there is no need for pre-baking.

My Dutch Apple Pie takes exactly 2 hours to make from start to finish. I know that might sound like a lot of time, but for a homemade pie, I think it’s quick, especially since an hour of that time is spent baking in the oven while you are enjoying the baked apple aroma filling your home.

This second pie is all about mixing the very sweet with the very tart for a perfect mouth watering combination. Pecan pie has always been a little too sweet for me, so when I added cranberries after hearing how from one of my favorite chefs, I had to try it. Now, I never make a pecan pie without the fresh cranberries. You will definitely need some whipped topping for this one.

This next one of mine, #3 is not only kid friendly, it will satisfy the guest that is trying to stay on the healthy side. I make this chocolate pudding pie probably about 5-6 times per year. It literally takes less that 5 minutes to make, only about 30 to cool.

Moving on to #4 after asking my friends in blog land if they had any special pie recipes to share I couldn’t resist choosing my friend Debbie’s healthier version of an “Upside Down Apple Pie” that she actually makes in an Instant Pot. Doesn’t that sound fun? It sure looks amazing to me.

For #5 I was lucky to find Jamie’s pie that combines apples and cranberries into a homemade crust. Just look how beautiful this pie looks…

Now for #6, I have to admit I am not a big pumpkin pie lover like my husband and kiddos are…however, when I saw this “Chocolate Pumpkin Pie” by Kendra, I thought it might be something I would enjoy because of the beautiful chocolate crust. What a great idea to mix these flavors together. My family would flip over this pie…

And lastly lucky #7, my friend Cindy shares a sweet story about her Mom’s apple pie that makes this pie very special. I actually think this pie photo should be on the cover of Better Homes & Gardens. It just looks so perfectly browned. Let me know if you decide to try it.

Before I go, I wanted to invite you to my very friendly and uplifting Facebook group called “Redheadcandecorate.com’s DIY Home Decorating & Cooking Group”. It’s really growing fast and it is a place where you can feel comfortable sharing your own home photos and decor/food related questions. I hope you can join us over there! See you next time~ Julie

I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake a I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake and grabbed a banana out of the freezer and was about to put it into my shake before I realized it was a frozen egg roll. Sooooo that's how my day is going so far! 🤪How about you?

It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.

“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work..." Job 37:5-7
What if you could do something at the beginning of What if you could do something at the beginning of your day that would be a gift to yourself later on? That’s what we’re talking about on this week’s Tip Tuesday! #tiptuesday
The sun decided to make another appearance today! The sun decided to make another appearance today! It’s been such a lovely Sunday. Chocolate croissants for breakfast followed by church then naps/football/reading/etc and soon we’ll be heading out to dinner with friends. These are my favorite kind of weekends. Hope yours has been lovely too! 🌿
Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshi Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshine is breaking through the fog and my house just seems happier. We definitely needed to see that light streaming in through the windows and it’s a gift I don’t take for granted.

And yes, there are still twinkle lights on my mantle because those help when the sunshine goes away again. ✨
Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here i Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here in the Willamette Valley has me feeling less frustrated about my migraine forcing me to just snuggle up indoors and these flowers in my kitchen are lifting my spirits. What are you up to on this holiday weekend?
It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offe It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offering a gentle reminder from my own parenting experience after feeling my heart pricked with conviction about what was waiting for my daughter every day after school. I hope it will encourage you! 🌿#tiptuesday
The day after Christmas I found myself laundering The day after Christmas I found myself laundering and folding all of the linens we used the previous night as we hosted my husband's side of the family for dinner and other festivities. As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now). 

And I’m choosing gratefulness. 

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)
Welcome to Tip Tuesday! I’m so excited to be kic Welcome to Tip Tuesday! I’m so excited to be kicking off the year with a brand new series! Each weekly installment will feature a tip for everything from your home to faith to parenting to family life and so much more. My goal for 2023 is to have far more personal interaction with this community while continuing on with the mission of weaving together all things heart and home. I hope you enjoy this first tip and I’d love to hear from you about whether or not you decorate for winter!

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. H “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” 

Here’s to beginnings. Happy new year friends! May you experience the majesty and sovereignty of the Lord in 2023 like never before! ✨
Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favor Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favorite for sure. Everything is still festive and decorated but there’s none of the stress of the cooking and wrapping and making preparations. It’s the week where we get to take everything slowly and simply enjoy being together while the house still has twinkling lights and we can just be cozy.

What about you? How will you be spending this week? ✨
