Melting Snowman Pie
Becky Luigart-Stayner
Frosty fans will love this quirky cookies-and-cream confection, which is topped with snowlike whipped cream cheese and a “melting” face.
All you need is a cookie cutter to make these delicious and fun little Christmas-tree shaped hand pies! They’re perfect for after school or for holiday parties of all stripes. We love the look (and taste) of cherry filling, but feel free to substitute other fruits.
Creamy, chocolatey, and covered in little marshmallows, this hot chocolate pie is best served on a chilly night with holiday guests and family to share it with.
Pairing tangy cranberries and orange liqueur, this crowd-pleasing dessert features an intricate, cozy sweater-like crust. It’s the ultimate cozy Christmas treat!
For a fruit-filled pie that’s decked out in the season’s best flavors, look no further than this spiced pear pie. But it’s the cinnamon-ginger caramel sauce that really takes the cake pie slice.
Apple pies aren’t just for Thanksgiving! They’re a delicious option your Christmas guests will love too. Here, brown butter pairs with a mix of baking apples in this double-crust dish to evoke a nostalgic, caramel apple-like flavor.
Winter citrus makes a surprisingly tasty peel-and-all appearance in this classic New England and Midwestern pie. Don’t worry too much though: this dessert is plenty sweet!
This no-pie-pan pie is filled with a classic mixture of graham crackers, chocolate, and of course toasted marshmallows. It’s absolutely delicious with a cup of hot chocolate while enjoying the Christmas festivities!
This pear pie is a lovely and delicious spin on the classic apple version. In addition to pears, it features an easy pie crust, cozy seasonal flavors like cinnamon and pecans, and a delicious crumble topping.
This dessert is two in one: cobbler and pie at the same time! Which means it's twice as good, especially if you're sharing it with your guests at Christmas time.
