Class Description
Pies are a beloved dessert any time of year, but there's something special about the warmth of winter spices and seasonings that make winter pies a favorite seasonal treat. Your guide is Executive Pastry Chef Catie Wiley, who joins us after a distinguished career as a pastry chef at several iconic patisseries and restaurants on the East Coast. In this hands-on class, you'll learn foundational skills for making perfect pie crusts every time - flaky, tender, and delicious, and flavorful winter-inspired fillings. We'll start by mastering the techniques for an all-purpose pie dough that will be the base for your creations. You'll learn how to properly mix the dough, roll it out, crimp the edges, and blind bake for a gorgeous, golden crust.
Next we'll dive into two seasonal pie fillings: a rich and silky Chocolate Cream, perfect for a chocolate lovers’ palate and a homemade, fluffy Whipped Cream that Chef Catie will demonstrate. Next, you’re making a classic Apple Pie Filling with a winter twist of fresh Cranberries for a pop of color and a sweet-tart flavor. By the end of the class, you'll have two beautiful pies to take home, along with the skills and recipes to bake up many more pie delights. Class also includes instructions on proper food safety, make-ahead tips, and ways to creatively vary the pie fillings with other seasonal fruits.
