Bake with Anna Olson

Pie Dough

There are few things more rewarding than a freshly baked pie. In this episode Anna shares her secrets and techniques to making the perfect pie dough. She starts off with her standard pie dough recipe—it bakes flakey and tender—and she forms it into sweet, sticky Pecan Butter Tarts. Next Anna adapts her pie dough to perfectly compliment a delicious filling and bakes her classic Pumpkin Pie with a braided edge. Then, for a challenge and a restaurant-worthy dessert, she bakes Individual Coconut Cream Pies. These little pies are so delectable with their layers of warm custard and smooth cream in a crisp shell! Lastly Anna bakes up a rustic yet pretty tart, Apple Cinnamon Galettes.
