    Dessert Pie and Tart Recipes

    Updated: Aug 31, 2026 · Published: Mar 14, 2019 by Urvashee

    Here are my dessert pie and tart recipes from the blog. Fruit tarts, chocolate tarts, mini pies, spiced holiday pies, and the crust techniques behind them.

    Pie and tart recipes cover a lot of ground. Some are quick weeknight desserts. Others are the centerpiece you make for a holiday table. This collection pulls both together in one place.

    You'll find fruit-topped tarts, chocolate tarts, bite-sized mini pies, and spiced pies for fall. I've also included the crust and glaze techniques I lean on as a pastry chef, so you can start with the basics or jump straight to a recipe. Pick what you're in the mood for and get baking.

    Dessert Pies and Tarts

    Start with the easy fruit tart at the top, then work through the rest of my tarts, the pies, and the crust and glaze techniques at the end.
