Three In One Fruit Patch Pot Pie Recipes

THREE-IN-ONE FRUIT PATCH POT PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix base ingredients. Spray hands or spoon with cooking spray. With hands or spoon, press mixture evenly in bottom of baking dish.
• Spoon apple pie filling crosswise in center of dish over base. Spoon remaining 2 pie fillings on sides of apple filling, creating 3 separate rows of pie filling. To make the patch top, unroll both crusts and cut into 1-inch wide strips. Place strips over the top of the fruit in any fashion you like, trimming the edges if they hang over the sides but leaving some open spaces for the heat to escape.
• Bake 1 hour or until golden brown. Cool at least 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

THREE-FLAVOR DINER PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Set aside 6 of the chocolate wafer cookies, then put the remaining cookies in a food processor with the sugar. Pulse until finely ground with a sandy texture. Add the butter and blend until combined. Press into a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish. Bake, rotating the pie plate halfway through the baking time, until firm, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool while you make the pudding.
• For the pudding: Put the white chocolate chips in a small bowl and the peanut butter in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Heat 3 1/2 cups of the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup cold milk. Whisk half of the hot milk into the egg mixture until smooth, then gradually whisk the egg and milk mixture into the remaining hot milk in the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened to a pudding-like consistency, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat, then transfer 3/4 cup of the pudding to the bowl with the white chocolate chips and 1 1/2 cups to the bowl with the peanut butter. Add the miniature chocolate chips to the saucepan with the remaining pudding. Whisk the puddings separately until melted and smooth. Allow to cool for 10 minutes while you prepare the cookie walls.
• Cut the half banana in half. Unpeel one of the pieces and cut into 6 slices. Stack 2 slices in the center of the cookie crust. Halve the remaining slices and arrange 5 pieces around the stacked pieces cut-sides in like a flower. Arrange the 3 remaining pieces on top of the banana petals.
• Carefully cut the remaining 6 chocolate wafer cookies in half. Dip 4 of the cookie halves almost all the way into the white chocolate pudding (leave just enough of each cookie exposed so you have a spot to hold onto), then arrange the cookies in a square around the bananas rounded-side up. The cookies should touch each other (the pudding will work as glue); if you need to, rearrange the bananas slightly to accommodate the cookies. Dip the remaining 8 cookie halves in the chocolate pudding. Leaving a 1-inch border around the first cookie wall, arrange the cookies rounded-side up in a circle around it, overlapping the cookies ever so slightly so they stand up straight.
• Spoon half of the white chocolate pudding into the center of the pie on top of the bananas, spoon half of the peanut butter pudding into the second section of the pie and then spoon half of the chocolate pudding into the outermost section of the pie. If any cookie walls fall over during this process, simply stand the cookies back up and keep filling the pie. (Once all the pudding is in the pie, the cookie walls will stand on their own and help keep the flavors separate.) Use the back of a small spoon or an offset spatula to smooth out the pudding in the pie, then top each section with the other half of the corresponding pudding. The pudding might go slightly above the cookie walls; just smooth it, being careful to keep the different flavors separate. Alternatively, you can transfer the pudding to 3 piping bags or large resealable plastic storage bags and pipe into the pie. Put plastic wrap directly over the pie, pressing on the top slightly so the pie is mostly flat, and refrigerate until fully set, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• For the toppings: Before serving, unwrap the pie and spoon the whipped topping over the center of the pie, leaving the chocolate pudding showing as a border. Peel and thinly slice the remaining banana piece and decorate the center of the pie with the slices. Create a ring of chopped peanuts around the banana slices, roughly over the peanut butter pudding layer. Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips over the chocolate pudding layer. Slice into 8 pieces and serve immediately.

INDIVIDUAL FRUIT COMPOTE PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Set aside.
• Place the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll to 1/8-inch thick. Cut 12 (3 3/4- inch) circles from the puff pastry. If the dough begins to stick, lightly dust with flour.
• Place 2 teaspoons of the fruit compote onto the middle of each circle. Lightly brush the edges with the egg wash and fold the pastry over so that the edges meet. Using a fork, press the edges together to seal. Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash and poke several holes in the top of the pies for steam to escape.
• Place the pies 1-inch apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake until golden brown, approximately 25 minutes.

TRIPLE FRUIT PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine fruits and extract; toss to coat. In another bowl, combine sugar, tapioca, nutmeg and salt. Add to fruit; stir gently.

Roll out remaining pastry; make a lattice crust. Seal and flute edges. , Bake at 400° for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 30 minutes longer or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

THREE BERRY PIE

Steps:

• Combine the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of the mixture, then gently toss with a fork. Push moistened portion to the side of the bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until all is moistened. Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Transfer one piece of dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough from the center to the edges to form a 12-inch circle. Wrap the crust around the rolling pin. Unroll it onto a 9-inch pie plate. Ease the crust into the pie plate, being careful not to stretch it. Trim the bottom crust evenly with the rim of the pie plate, and return the pastry-lined pie plate to the refrigerator.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries; gently toss until berries are coated. Allow fruit mixture to stand for about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
• Roll out the remaining pastry for the top crust. Stir the berry mixture and pour the filling into the pastry-lined pie plate. Place the top crust over the pie and trim the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold the top crust under the bottom crust, pressing lightly to seal. Crimp the edges of the crust and cut vents in the top to allow steam to escape. To prevent over-browning, cover the edge of the pie with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the baking tray for 25 minutes. Remove the foil.
• Bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden. Cool on a wire rack.
