"Don't let anyone tell you otherwise-easy pie recipes should only require a few simple ingredients and minimal hands-on time to become desserts fit for a holiday or dinner-party table. Even if you enjoy the process of cutting butter into dough, rolling it out, and fussing over a neatly latticed top, sometimes you just need something a little more relaxed. Not in the mood to make a pie crust this time?"
"None of them uses more than 10 ingredients (excluding a homemade crust, which we said you could buy pre-made or make ahead and stash in the freezer), plus salt and optional toppings like whipped cream or ice cream. None has more than one cooked element. Recipes should keep the equipment to a minimum. The time spent cooking should be minimal, though we can't help it if you have to tell yourself to be patient with the cooling, chilling, or baking time."
Easy pies prioritize simplicity, requiring few ingredients and minimal hands-on time. Store-bought crusts are acceptable and may brown faster, so cover with foil if needed. Some fruit pies skip blind baking to save time. No-oven options include lemon icebox and chocolate pies that chill in fridge or freezer. Selection criteria keep recipes under 10 ingredients, limit to one cooked element, minimize equipment, and reduce active cooking time. Cooling or chilling times can still require patience, but they do not increase hands-on effort. These approaches yield simple yet elegant pies suitable for holidays and dinner parties.
