After completing a year of cookies and a year of cakes, it’s time to tackle the pie community. Pie is known as the most American dessert, thus the saying “as American as apple pie”. Once a week, I will hang out in my kitchen with recipe in hand and utensils nearby, to fill my pie plate with hopefully something delicious. Travel with me throughout this year on this pie adventure. Rolling pin, get ready to roll! It will be “as easy as pie!”

Pie Recipe #51 - Peppermint Brownie Pie
Today's pie involves one of those great duo's-peppermint and chocolate! Another great Christmas ending possibility.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter, 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped, single-crust pie shell, 3 eggs, lightly beaten, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 cup mint-flavored semisweet chocolate pieces, whipped cream, miniature candy canes (optional).
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan, combine butter and chocolate. Cook and stir over low heat, until melted; cool slightly.
Meanwhile, place pastry in pie plate. For filling, in a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, flour, and vanilla. Stir in melted chocolate and the chocolate pieces. Pour filling into the pastry-lined pie plate.
Bake in the preheated 350 degree oven for about 55 minutes or until filling is evenly puffed and edge of filling is slightly cracked. Cool on a wire rack about 20 minutes or until slightly warm (center will sink slightly as pie cools).
Top each serving with whipped cream and, if desired, garnish with a mini candy cane. (I crushed my candy canes and sprinkled some on each piece).
Makes 8 servings.
