Happy Pi(e) Day – 3 Easy Pie Recipes

Today is one of the best days of the year- National Pi(e) Day. In case you have no clue what I’m talking about, today is March 14th, aka 3-14, which are the first three digits of pi. Yes, it’s a nerdy holiday, but I love it! And, if you’re anything like Mr. Neutron, then you are just as excited about this day as I am.

So to celebrate, today I’m sharing three easy pie recipes with you that you can whip up in a jiffy. While on my Fredericksburg trip, my friends and I brainstormed ideas for the types of pie, and we decided on these three: Chocolate Chip Coconut Pecan Pie, Apple Crumble Pie and Mixed Berry Pie.
If you’re not drooling yet, just wait. ; ) 

Each of these recipes were made using mini pie pans. The first two recipes used ONE pie dough recipe.The third was made by doubling the pie dough recipe!
These recipes can also be made into a large pie by adding all filling ingredients into a regular pie pan and baking for a longer time.

Instructions

1. Whisk together the whole wheat flour, white flour and salt in a large bowl.
2. With a pastry blender, cut the coconut oil into the four mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. With a fork, stir in the vinegar. Add the water (1 tbsp at a time) until the dough begins to form.
4. Press the dough together and shape it into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
5. When you are ready to use the dough, roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin and even.

Notes

*Simply double the recipe if you need a two pie crusts. Divide the dough in half and refrigerate each dough ball separately.

Chocolate Chip Coconut Pecan Pie Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 tsp coconut extract
3 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 325F.
In a large bowl, beat together the corn syrup, butter, vanilla and eggs until well blended. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Roll out and spread out the pie crust on a floured surface. Using a mini pie pan as your template, cut three circles out of the pie dough. You may have to ball up and re-roll the scraps for the third mini pie crust. Press into the pans. 
Spread the filling evenly in each pie pan and top with a few extra chocolate chips. 
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pie is a deep golden brown and the filling is set. Cool completely before digging in. 

Apple Crumble Pie Recipe

Filling Ingredients:
5 Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled and sliced into small, thin slices
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Crumble Ingredients:
3/4 cups oats
3/4 cups walnuts
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

In a large bowl, mix together the apple slices, lemon juice, cinnamon, coconut sugar and vanilla. Set aside. 
In a food processor, blend the oats until a fine, flour like powder has formed. Add in the walnuts and pulse until they are slightly crumbled. 
In a medium bowl, mix together the oat and walnut mixture, brown sugar, cinnamon and coconut oil. 
Roll out and spread out the pie crust on a floured surface. Using a mini pie pan as your template, cut three circles out of the pie dough. You may have to ball up and re-roll the scraps for the third mini pie crust. Press into the pans. 
Spread the filling evenly in each pie pan.
Sprinkle the crumble over the filling. Make sure the pie is completely covered. 
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crumble is a deep golden brown and the filling is set. Cool completely before digging in. 

Mixed Berry Pie Recipe

Ingredients:
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 cup raspberry jelly
1 cup blueberries
1 cup raspberries
1 cup strawberries
1/2 cup chia seeds
**Extra pie crust for the top crust**
1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted

Preheat oven to 325F.
In a large bowl, mix together the filling ingredients and set to the side. 
Roll out and spread out the pie crust on a floured surface. Using a mini pie pan as your template, cut three circles out of the pie dough. You may have to ball up and re-roll the scraps for the third mini pie crust. Press into the pans. 
Spread the filling evenly in each pie pan.
Roll out the second pie crust just like the first one, and cut into 1/2 inch strips. Carefully arrange the strips into a lattice design over the filling. Trim and seal the edges, then brush some coconut oil over it and sprinkle a little bit of sugar on top. 
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top pie crust is a deep golden brown and the filling is set. Cool completely before digging in.
