These recipes are amazing! I haven't made them all myself, but I have tried several of the options at High 5 Pie. I literally dream about double blackberry pie. This was a must-have addition to my kitchen, especially now that I don't live within driving distance of High 5 Pie!

Most of the recipes are interchangeable between a standard 9-inch pie, a 7-inch deep dish pie, a half-pint mason jar pie, muffin tin sized cutie pies, mini-muffin tin sized petit-5s, pie pops, or the ultra portable flip flops, which is great because it adds so much versatility. There is a really great variety of flavors too.

What is even more amazing is that I had a question about a recipe, emailed the store, and got a response the next morning.

I bought this book for my daughter as a Christmas gift. Tonight, I arrived home from work to find the most adorable, exquisite, cupcake-sized blueberry pies waiting for me to sample. In a word, heaven! I bit in to the picture-perfect treat, and was rewarded with a mouthful of delight: lush, rich, tender crust, and a lemon-laced blueberry filling that was so surprising, fresh and flavorful it almost brought tears to my pie-loving eyes. This was my daughter's second attempt at pie baking, ever, and her result was something so delicious it could easily have been the product of a seasoned pastry chef. Pie nirvana. A cookbook that can guide even a novice to results like this deserves all 5 stars.
