Pie

Anyone who has taken a bite of Milk Bar's best selling pie immediately knows the reason why it's so popular.

If you're using a glass or metal pie dish instead of a deep-dish ceramic pie plate, be sure to keep an eye on the pie. It may cook more quickly. Baking the pie on the bottom rack of the oven ensures a crisp bottom crust.

"This dough, with its addition of whole wheat flour for a nutty taste and tender texture, is a must in your baking repertoire," says Karen DeMasco.

When you want something luxurious, go straight for the good stuff: creamy, gooey caramel. These TK recipes, for luscious desserts and decadent dinners, are what you need.
