Pies & Tarts (Maida Heatter Classic Library)
By Maida Heatter
Andrews McMeel Publishing - 1997
Apple Pie, USA : page 26
This is a review of the filling only; I used the Cream Cheese Pastry recipe from the Pie and Pastry Bible (which has become my absolute go-to pie/tart pastry). I went with the recipe with just two exceptions--I brushed cream (instead of milk) on the top crust and sprinkled it with sanding sugar instead of granulated. I also really love the smell of freshly grated nutmeg and so might have used just a bit more than directed. I used a combination of tart and sweet apples. I could not have been happier with the results. While I used a different recipe for the crust, I did follow this recipe's baking instructions and they were perfect.

Pumpkin Pie : page 77
This is very simple and results in an absolutely delicious, perfectly smooth pumpkin filling. I used the heavy cream/milk variation and warmed the cream in the microwave. I followed the recipe but for the pepper which I skipped (I don't object to the flavor--I just didn't want the black flecks of pepper in the custard). I used the cream cheese pastry from the Pie and Pastry Bible and filled one 7" tart shell and four 3" tarts.
