Orange Pie

 Orange Pie tastes just like a slice of sunshine feels!  Perfect for a gloomy or sunny day.

Some of our other favorite citrus flavored pies include the Perfect Key Lime Pie, Atlantic Beach Lemon Cream Pie and Creamsicle Ice Cream Pie

The winter gloom has arrived in the Pacific NW.  That means rainy days and overcast skies.  These kind of days get me dreaming about warm, sandy beaches and citrus. And this pie hit the spot and brightened my day.

Orange Creamsicle Pie

If you love a key lime pie, you are going to love this pie too!  The original recipe is for a sour orange pie.  I didn’t know there was such a thing as sour oranges.  And we don’t have them here in the Pacific NW, so I just used regular navel oranges.  Now let me tell you, there is nothing sour about this pie.  It is a bit of sweet sunshine in your mouth!

How to Make Orange Pie

The pie is made with a shortbread crust but you could also make it with a graham cracker crust.  Find my recipe for graham cracker crust here.

Not only is there plenty of orange goodness in the pie, it is topped with some lovely orange flavored whipped cream.  After trying it, I need to find more things to serve orange whipped cream with.  It is divine.

So if you need a little sunshine in your life, this pie will do the trick!
