Our family has always loved sweets. I thought I'd share some of my favorite recipes.
With the holidays coming up, these pies would be a delicious addition to the table.
Hope you enjoy!

pie dish and make sure to go up the sides. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
For the Creamy Pie

5. 1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Crust: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper and coat lightly with baking spray.
In a medium bowl combine the flour and sugar. Add in the cubed butter and using a pastry cutter cut it in until combined and crumbly.
Then use your hands to press and squeeze the mixture together.
Press the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 12-13 minutes until lightly golden.
Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
Filling: In a medium bowl mix together the sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, and salt using a rubber spatula until evenly combined and
smooth. Add in the flour and stir until just combined. Stir in the walnuts, cherries, and coconut until evenly mixed.
Spread the filling on top of the crust and bake for 20 – 25 minutes until set and lightly golden.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting.
