Pie Recipes to Try This Autumn

Dollarphotoclub_47988676With the temperature dropping, there's nothing better than a pie with perfectly golden pastry and a steaming hot filling. If this sounds like your kind of meal, then consider trying out these autumn pie winners for your next dinner or dessert:

Chicken and Autumn Vegetable Pie

Embrace your autumn produce with this chicken and autumn vegetable pie, which includes butternut pumpkin, leek and the root vegetable celeriac along with chicken, pancetta and thyme. This pie comes with a little twist as the pie lids are cooked separately and simply added on top of the pie filling to serve. It's a perfect dish for a chilly night and is simple enough to prepare for guests.

Apple and Cranberry Pie

Try something a little different to your usual apple pie by adding in cranberries. This pie also has some interesting touches for extra flavour with shredded orange peel, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg making it stand out from the crowd. Tart apples like Granny Smiths tend to work best as they offset the sweet cranberries, and both work in harmony with the indulgent double crust pastry. It takes about 40 minutes to prepare, but once done, serves 8 people. This dessert pie is great for a dinner party.

Spiced Pumpkin Pie

Embrace the American autumn tradition of pumpkin pies with this beautiful spiced variety. It uses butternut pumpkin and is sweetened with a mix of honey, golden syrup and brown sugar. This autumn pie is then topped with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. It's best served with whipped cream and a dust of cinnamon!
