Bird's Nest Pie image

When we were kids, our favorite dessert at Grandma's house was Bird's Nest Pie. Maybe we were fascinated by the name of the treat, but that can't be the only reason we liked it-there were never any leftovers! This family recipe was handed down from my great-grandmother.

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 to 5 medium apples, peeled and sliced

This is the best bird's nest pie I've ever had! The crust is flaky and buttery, the filling is sweet and tart, and the meringue is light and fluffy.

This pie is definitely a labor of love, but it's worth it! It's so delicious and it's always a showstopper.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out like the picture. It was still good, but it didn't look as impressive.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This pie was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The crust was a bit soggy. I think I would have baked it for a few minutes longer.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more tart filling.

This is my go-to recipe for bird's nest pie. It's always a crowd-pleaser. The only thing I do differently is add a bit of cinnamon to the filling.

This pie was a hit with my family! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. The crust was flaky and buttery, the filling was sweet and tangy, and the meringue was light and fluffy. I will definitely be making this pie again.
