Cakes, Pies, and Tarts

Shortcut Apple Strudel is a real lifesaver recipe idea in a time crunch, especially around holiday celebrations.

The top ten cheesecake recipes that have been most popular on RockRecipes.com over the last 7 years.

Gypsy Tart. It’s pie magic! A recipe that’s surprising in its simplicity. The easy filling uses just a few common ingredients to produce a tempting Dulce de Leche flavoured custard.

Perfect Pecan Pie. Trust a true pecan pie lover who has been using this recipe for over 30 years. I’ve never had better.

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie, or make it without the alcohol. Either way, this is one amazing pie that’s perfect for Thanksgiving, the Holidays, or any occasion you like.

The Best Apple Pie is “Just an Apple Pie”. There is a bit of a secret technique in this recipe but as my 13 year old son reminded me, keep it simple; the best apple pie is still “just an apple pie”.

Maple Pie – a close cousin to butter tarts, sugar pie and even a southern pecan pie. This rich maple flavoured filling in a flakey butter cry pastry is perfect for Canada Day or even for Thanksgiving or at the Holidays.

Caramel Banana Cream Pie. Good old Banana Cream Pie gets the luscious addition of a layer of homemade caramel sauce on top. The result is as completely indulgent as it gets. Bound to become a family favourite recipe.

Turtle Cheesecake – a creamy vanilla cheesecake sits on a chocolate cookie crumb base and is topped with toasted pecans, gooey caramel and chocolate; perhaps our most decadent cheesecake yet.

Maple Walnut Pie. Maple and walnut are naturally complementary flavours and this Canadian twist on a pecan pie makes this delicious combination shine!
