1 batch of pie crust dough ¼ cup butter 1 cup mushrooms, chopped small 1 cup beets, chopped small ½ tsp salt ½ tsp pepper ½ tsp dried sage ½ cup flour or corn starch 2 Tbsp water or soup stock

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Roll the pie dough into 4 small crusts, round or square, about 5-6 inches across.

Combine the butter, mushrooms, seasonings, and flour/cornstarch in a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat until the mushrooms are soft, and most of the moisture has been absorbed by the mushrooms and flour. Remove from heat. Add the beets and the water/stock.

Spoon this filling into the crusts. Fold the crust over and pinch the edges closed. If desired, glaze the top of the crust. Cut small slashes in the tops.

Bake for about 20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.

Crust: ¾ cup flour ¾ cup rolled oats 1/3 cup butter ¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt 1 ½ tsp ground ginger, minced fresh ginger, or minced candied ginger

Filling: ¼ cup brown sugar 2 Tbsp flour ½ cup sour cream ½ cup blackberries 2 Tbsp milk ¼ tsp ground cloves 1 pear, cored and sliced thinly

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Crust: Stir together the flour and oats. Cut in the butter until crumbly and there's no dry powder. Stir in the sour cream/yogurt. It should be a somewhat wet dough. Sprinkle flour in the pie tin, then dump the dough in and press it evenly onto the bottom and sides.

Filling: Mix flour and brown sugar well. Stir in sour cream, berries, milk, and cloves. Mix well and spread into the crust. Lay the pear slices over the cream.

Bake for about 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown, the edges of the pear slices are browned, and the cream is bubbling.

Crust: ¾ cup butter 2 cups flour ½ cup water ¼ tsp salt

Cut the butter into the flour until it's crumbly and there's no dry powder.

Filling: 5 cups chopped apples 1/3 cup honey 1 Tbsp arrowroot powder, flour, or corn starch ½ tsp allspice ½ cup redcurrant jelly*

Stir together the apples, arrowroot, allspice, and honey.

Roll out half the crust dough on a piece of waxed paper dusted with flour. Use flour as necessary on top and bottom to prevent sticking. Roll to 1/8”.

Dust the pie tin with flour. Use the waxed paper to flip the crust over into the pie tin. Trim the edges and fill in any holes.

Spread the redcurrant jelly in the bottom of the crust, then put in the apple mixture.

Roll out the rest of the crust dough to make the top crust. Do whatever type of design you want.

Bake for 45-60 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft.

*If you have fresh or dried redcurrants available to you, make a quick sort of jam by cooking them with water and honey, and mashing them up. Alternatively, you could stir the plain redcurrants in with the apples instead of using jam.
