Ever since seeing Not Martha’s tutorial on how to make a pie in a jar, I’ve been obsessed with them. I love the idea of a single serving of home made pie. Lucky for me I canned some yummy peach pie filling this last summer. I love this peach pie filling because it uses almond extract and no store bought pie filling can compare. Since I had all the ingredients already in my pantry I decided that it was time to make my little obsession a reality.
I used a pie crust mix and filled each jar with pie crust.
Next I added the pie filling and left a space at the top.
I then added a pie crust top. I simply rolled out the pie crust and used the jar ring as a cutter. Once the crust top was cut out in a perfect circle I used a small cookie cutter to cut out a little shape.
I then placed the crust on top and carefully pinched the pie crust top to the pie crust already in the jar. I baked it in my oven at 375 degrees until the pie crust was a golden brown. If you do this make sure you have a cookie sheet or something underneath. My little pies bubbled over a little bit.
These are adorable little pies and would make an excellent gift for a friend or neighbor. I think you can even freeze them and pull them out when you want a little pick me up. I wrapped up an extra pie in a jar that I had and gave it to my lovely cousin. She was so excited to get it.
Next, I tackle my obsession with cupcakes in a jar. Click here and here to check some of these cuties out!

I just found your site. It is GREAT.
Pie in a jar! I'll give it a try.
cute and yum! I'm having cupcke fever over at my blog, too.
My husband is thrilled! He said "that's the only drawback of pie--it's not easily eaten while on the run...never before have you seen people driving down the road eating pie...until now!" hahahaha
Sounds delish! I want to try it. Also could you include your recipe for your peach pie filling?...the one with almond extract?! Thanks!
I just found your website through The Crafty Crow, and I love it. Now I'd really love your peach pie recipe! (We have 3 peach trees.)
Are you kidding me? That is such a cute and clever idea! Thanks for sharing!

How cute! I love it! I made about a million cake-in-a-jars back when the hubby was in Iraq, but had never seen pies-in-a-jar.
I've even done brownies in a jar, and muffins in a jar (all to send to hubby and his friends). Cute! Thanks!
Holy Moley, you gals totally amaze me! Love the idea!!! Yummm...

You are my hero! I have a new neighbor and I've been trying to figure out what to send over. This is adorable. I only wish I'd discovered your post before Valentine's day.
Please oh please post the recipe for the pie filling! It sounds amazing!
Great gift idea!

That is seriously the cutest food gift ever!
So I have been loving cupcakes in a jar, but pie?? How fun!! I can't wait to whip up a few of these puppies. And taste-test, of course. :D
Hi everyone! The peach pie recipe I used is a canned peach pie filling. It is a basic peach pie filling-no cinnamon-that adds a couple of teaspoons of almond extract to the filling. I tried to pull the recipe out and realized that it grew legs and walked off-boo. I am trying to get another copy from the original recipe maker and get permission to share it. So far, I haven't been able to contact her. I'll keep you posted.
Darling! Loves these... I posted a link on my edible crafts column (at ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com). thanks for sharing the cuteness! meaghan
I have made a 'pie candle in a jar', that smelled like peaches, but I like this recipe where it can be eaten! Awesome idea. Can't wait to try it.
I LOVE this idea! have you tried the cake in a mug???
Cake in a Mug Recipe
1 microwave safe coffee cup
4 tlbs all purpose flour
4 tbls sugar
2 tbls baking cocoa
1 egg
3 tbls milk
3 tlbs oil
3 tbls mini choc chips
Splash of vanilla
Add dry ingredients to mug,
Mix well…
Wisk egg, milk and oil separate.
Add to mug and mix well.
Add chips and vanilla; mix again.
Tap mug gently on countertop
to remove air pockets
but not too hard or the chips
will sink to the bottom.
Put mug in microwave.
Cook for 2-3 min.
The cake will rise over the top
of the mug but don't be alarmed.
Allow to cool a little.
Tip out onto a plate, if desired.
FROST & DECORATE!
This looks Delish! So cute and actually looks tasty! I'll have to try this one!
