Leah originally had a tough time deciding what kind of pie to make this week. Matt was trying to push her toward a raspberry pie, and the others were pushing for chocolate. But then we remembered that this was the week we were having our friends the Clarks over for the weekend, and they (one of them in particular) are a little obsessed with donuts. So Leah chose Donut Pie.
The concept is pretty simple: Regular pie crust (we’ve kind of been honing in on a recipe with both butter and shortening in it) with a pile of glazed donut holes, with a bit of a buttery mixture baked around it, covered in glaze. Because this was Leah’s pie, the glaze had to be blue. With sprinkles.
There was a hint of cinnamon in the mixture, but mostly it tasted like a bunch of donut holes. Not a bad thing to put in your mouth. Not bad at all.
