• Heat apple butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in honey, water, flour, and cinnamon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer while you prepare the pie.
• Place one crust in the bottom of your pan and fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cut the second crust into strips; set aside.
• Gently pour the honey mixture over the apples. Cover with the strips to form a lattice-style crust. Brush any remaining honey mixture on the crust.

MAMA ARNOLD'S HONEY PIE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring honey to a boil. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot honey into the eggs; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; gently stir in the butter, vanilla, pecans and nutmeg., Pour into crust and bake at 325° for 25 minutes or until filling is set.

MILK AND HONEY PIE WITH CEREAL CRUST

Steps:

• Make the crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the middle position. Combine cornflakes, sugar and salt in a food processor and process until finely ground. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups). Add butter and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand.
• Transfer cornflake mixture to a standard 9-inch pie plate. Using the bottom of a flat-bottomed measuring cup, press the mixture up the sides and into the bottom of the pie plate. Bake on the middle rack until dry and deeper golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. (If the crust slumps or puffs while it bakes, gently press it back into place while still warm with the measuring cup and proceed.) Let cool completely.
• Make the filling: Whisk the egg yolks, egg, honey, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in milk and cream and place over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking continuously, until mixture thickens and starts to bubble, 4 to 7 minutes. Continue to cook, whisking continuously, for 1 minute more. Pour mixture into the cooled crust and spread in an even layer. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve: Beat cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Dollop cream on top of pie, top with plums and drizzle with honey if desired.

FRUIT SWEETENED BERRY PIE

Steps:

• In large saucepan, combine the berries (I have used fresh black berries and the mixed berries from Costco), the thinly sliced apples (I have used granny smith), the flour, orange zest, orange extract and cinnamon. Stir over medium heat until thickened. Make sure to keep stirring so the berries don't scorch. Line a pie pan with crust. When berries are thickened pour into lined pie dish and top with butter, if desired. Top with second pie crust and crimp edges. Cut slits in the top of the pie and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until crust is golden. Enjoy!
