Sweetie pie........and tart

We have recently learned how to make pie and tart doughs, which are similar but still slightly different. Tart dough is sweeter than pie dough. Something I didn't know before hand was that you actually bake the pie dough a little before you put anything in it and bake it again. Or if you are doing a custard or cream pie you have to bake the pie dough completely before using.
So in class we made apple cinnamon crumble pie, and pumpkin pie along with a fresh fruit tart. For the tart we had to make pastry cream to put the fruit on top of, along with making a glaze to seal in the freshness of the fruit(and make it look pretty).
This week was a lot of fun, and delicious. I didn't get a picture of it, cause we ate it to quickly, but we also made a chocolate cream pie. It was so rich and wonderful, I can't wait to make another one.
Thank you to everyone who got to try my pies and gave me the good reviews, and sorry to all those who didn't get to try.
Everyone have a good day, and keep it mixing.
