Has anyone tried the granola pre baked pie shells and if so would they be acceptable for a Lemon Meringue Pie ?

I can make more pies if I don't have to bake home made pie shells .

Looks like there will be enough lemons for Thanksgiving

Any thought's

The honey graham pie shells are not perfect but very passable particularly for cheese cake. If one was in a hurry. They would be quite acceptable for lemon meringue at my table. If one was hungry for pie and there was not a home made one in sight.

The ones at Playero are not honey graham they are a gronola pie shell.

I did a pie making inventory today and discovered one of my Tart pans has been re appropriated and now I have one.

What I use now in lieu of a Graham cracker crust is about a half box of crushed Nilla Wafers with a half stick of melted butter and a quarter cup of sugar. Press into a pie pan with the bottom of a glass. Blind bake for about 10 minutes. I use it mostly for my Pumpkin Cheesecake. The pumpkin cheese cake is the same recipe as a Libby's Pumpkin Pie but I sub in a pound of warmed cream cheese for the condensed milk.

I think a Nilla based crust would work with a lemon custard pie more than Graham crackers, provided you can get them there.

How about Key Lime Pie? Yumm....

Mike- Your pie pan is at my house. Remember- you said I should keep it, that you would NEVER make a lemon pie again! = ))
If you need the pan (and I might have two), go to my house, explain, and my gardener will give it to you. I am not around right now.

IMHO only traditional pie crust goes with lemon meringue pie. Hopefully you can find some premade frozen ones there. If not and you decide to go with an alternative then I think the vanilla wafers would be the next best choice.
Happy pie making!

It would be nice if there was a cooking section and not JUST for Dominican foods. Most of the cooking threads I see are for people wanting to make foods from their home country, but can't source an ingredient or need help having come from where prepared foods are the norm.

I used a granola one for a mango mouse...it was actually quite good with the granola and gave Mr. Silver Fox the extra fibre he is supposed to have....lol

Hola PeterinBrat, I would have thought that your food comments could well fit in the Dominican Food thread. If one lives here, cooks here and buys most of the ingredients here by definition it must dominican food!

I brought back this large size lemon from my holiday in Pakistan and it made me think of Mike and all the lemon threads :) The trees were imported from Africa to Pakistan quite a while ago, I am not sure of the species. I think Mike could make a lot of pies with these. :bunny:
