Who doesn’t dream of a homemade pie — or a small bakery that makes pies with quality ingredients that taste as good as homemade? I know I do and a good bakery, for me, is an essential part of my ideal neighborhood. Growing up in Nashville, my favorite was Becker’s Bakery on 12th Avenue South for the little pastel-colored cookies they made. The neighborhood bakery sharing a recipe with us this week is Sister Pie, a little corner shop in a former beauty salon on Detroit’s west side. Sister Pie bakes up rustic pies that are nontraditional in flavor combinations, drawing on the native produce from Michigan, owner Lisa Ludwinski’s home state.
I chose the Minced Pear Pie recipe from Lisa’s cookbook, Sister Pie: The Recipes & Stories of a Big-Hearted Bakery in Detroit. It’s pear season, so you have this wonderful, pear-derived minced meat-style filling enclosed between two buttery, flaky crusts. What you’ll see below are the recipes for both the filling (which you could use to make hand pies or gift jars or whatever you like!) and also the crust (which you can file away as your go-to crust). A quick note about the recipe — the filling must age for three days before using to develop the flavors, and the pie crust must sit for two hours in the refrigerator. Factor these times into your baking plans! —Kristina
