Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Zesty peach pie with almond crumble

    • TrishaCP on September 09, 2021

      I made this pie using my own all butter pie crust, rather than the sweeter, shortbread style crust from the book. I thought the filling was nice, though I would have preferred lemon zest. I subbed cornstarch for the flour since I was working with a more delicate crust and the pie set beautifully. I felt like the crumble needed a touch more sugar (another tablespoon)- but the balance might have been off since I didn’t use the recommended crust. The almonds in the crumble were great with the peaches.

  • Oma's Dutch taart dough

    • imaluckyducky on June 24, 2020

      5 surprising stars! Ok I wasn't paying attention when I was making this dough, and I didn't realize that this crust was more like a sugar or shortbread cookie. I almost panicked after the blind bake! It's an easy way to prepare a pie crust, and the 2 hours chilling in the fridge can be shortened to 30mins in a chest freezer with success. I'm really excited to work my way though this book.

  • Sweet strawberry pie

    • imaluckyducky on June 24, 2020

      4.5 stars. This pie is really, really tasty. My strawberries were from a u-pick patch so I didn't need as much sugar, but the jammy consistency that results in the center is sublime. The contrast of the filling with the crunch of the crust that is more like a sugar cookie is very satisfying. Will make again!

Brittany’s Oma immigrated from Amsterdam to the United States, bringing a recipe for a perfectly crispy, sweet and citrusy pie crust that transforms any pie filling into something special. Brittany’s Oma taught her how to bake with this unique recipe and she has kept it a secret all these years. Now, with The Taartwork Pies Cookbook, everyone can learn how to make the recipe that has blown so many away with its wonderful flavor. Not only does Brittany include her Oma’s Dutch Apple Taart recipe, but she includes 59 other fillings to complement the dough. There is also a gluten-free version and a chocolate version of the pie crust to cater to different tastes and dietary restrictions. Other recipes include Rose Poached Rhubarb Strawberry Pie, Chamomile Peach Pie, Honey Sweet Potato Pie and Beet Red Pie with White Chocolate Whip.
