Recipes in comments. We went with NY style cheesecake thinking it would hold up all the weight a little better. I used thick straws to help stabilize but I'm not so sure I needed them. I didn't feel like making the buttercream thick enough to cover the whole pie crust so it has a skirt of crust sticking out. Next time I would figure out how to do a pie with vertical sides. I was skeptical of this dessert because it took so much work but it was a special request so I went with it. It turned out way better than I thought, I would actually make it again. Only problem is that with 10 people we only got through half of it.

    I made one (with pecan pie, but I love your idea of cheesecake!) but I made the pies using the same cake pan that I made the spice cake in.  I made all the parts using recipes from Sally’s Baking Addiction website and lined the cake pan with parchment so I could pull the pie out using the overhanging parchment. I also followed instructions from Zac Young to cut off the sides of the pies leaving only the pie and the bottom crust.  

    Yours looks delicious!

    I love that you don’t have to choose between one dessert or another. You can have all three!

    Honestly, the little skirt of crust makes it feel extra homemade in that cozy way, like it was built with love instead of perfection.

  5. I am definitely making this next Thanksgiving! I will trim the refrigerated pie, removing outer crust. I hate having to wait…Christmas!! Glorious idea, thank you for sharing.

    Ohh I actually love the pie crust peeking through!! A fluted or crimped crust could look so cute showing through too!
