Hi !!!
HAPPY EASTER!!!
Here is one of the pies that I am making for Easter Dinner...
Peach Praline Pie
4 cups ripe peach slices
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
9-inch unbaked pie shell (Mrs. Smith's, if possible)
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cold butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Prepare the praline topping by combining the brown sugar and 1/4 cup flour, and cutting in the butter with a pastry blender, until mixture has a crumbly texture. Stir in the chopped pecans. Sprinkle one-third of the mixture in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.
Combine the sliced peaches, 2 tablespoons flour, 2/3 cup sugar and lemon juice, and pour into pie shell over praline mixture. Sprinkle remaining praline mixture evenly over peaches.
Bake for 45 minutes to 50 minutes, or until syrup boils in heavy bubbles that do not burst. Serve warm, with or without vanilla ice cream.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Good peaches contain lots of juice, so a deep-dish pie pan is good for this recipe. If you don't have one, just make sure the pastry edges are crimped well and have a standing rim.

Caramel Apple Pie II
INGREDIENTS
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust deep dish pie
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
5 cups thinly sliced apples
2/3 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
20 caramels, halved
2 tablespoons milk
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
To Make Taffy: In a small bowl combine brown sugar, melted butter or margarine, and 1/3 cup flour. Mix well and set aside.
To Make Apple Filling: Place apples in a large bowl. Add white sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until all ingredients are mixed well and apples are thoroughly coated.
Spoon half of apple filling into pastry-lined deep-dish pan. Top with half of caramels and half of taffy mixture. Repeat process with remaining apple filling, caramels and taffy mixture. Place top pastry over filling and seal well (this is very important--if edges are not sealed, caramel will leak out all over). Cut steam vents and brush top crust with milk or light cream.
Cover pie with foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil from pie and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, until crust is golden. Serve warm.

instead of rolling a dough, i use the following
To Make Pat-in-Pan Pastry: In a medium bowl, mix 1 1/3 cups flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles tiny peas. Add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork after each addition. Mix lightly just until pastry almost cleans sides of bowl. Pat into bottom and sides of an 8 inch pie pan. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
then you can add chocolate pudding, or any other filling you want that doesn't have to be cooked.
if you want to make a fruit pie, dont bake the crust, add a can of apple or whatever kind of fruit you want. make a crumb topping with 1 stick butter, cut into pieces, add a tablespoon or two of flour, some brown sugar, 1/2 cup or so, maybe some cinnamon, some nuts if you like, and work it together until crumbly, sprinkle on the top of the fruit, bake at 350 for about 45 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave pie in there until cooked.
if you see another recipe that you like, you can substitute this pie crust for a rolled one.
you can always go buy a ready made crust, either graham cracker, good for filling with puddings and fresh fruit, or one that has to be baked, find in the freezer section.
if this is your first pie, go make a bit easier on yourself until you have some more time, less pressure and more experiance..
good luck

If you really intend to prepare a pie completely from scratch, I hope you're not planning on eating it after Easter Dinner. The dough-rolling all by itself takes lots of practice to get right...and even experienced bakers can have a day where their crusts don't come out right.
Have a look here for suggestions:
