Quick and Easy pie recipes are designed to help you save time. Old school bakers frown upon the techniques usually recommended in these recipes but that’s mostly because they’re used to doing things the old fashioned way. There’s zero doubt that a truly homemade pie has been quality and flavor than one made using a quick and easy recipe.
The two most common steps found in quick and easy pie recipes are using a store bought crust and using canned or box pie filling. Of course there’s controversy over each of these methods. There’s no way to make a store bought crust taste like one that’s homemade. Similarly, no canned pie filling has the same texture or taste as homemade. The most common types of store-bought crusts are graham cracker, Oreo cookie crusts, and refrigerated crusts such as Pillsbury. The most common types of premade fillings are canned pie filling and powdered pie filling mixes, the most well known being Jell-o.
In addition to the crust and filling, quick and easy pie recipes emphasize:
- One‑bowl preparation
- No special equipment required
- Fewer spices and flavorings
- Premade spice blends like pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice
- No lattice crust or dough preparation
- Lower cost than a homemade pie
