It seems the new trend is baking in a jar. I got on the band wagon when I baked my EZ Lemon Cake. It is such fun to see peoples reaction when you pull out a piece of cake, or any dessert for that matter, that has been put into a jar. And did I mention the ease of transporting it. I took my lemon cakes to the races and not a crumb was dropped or damage in the process. So when I recently took a trip to the Oregon Coast, I knew I wanted to make some pie to take, in a jar!
We spent our first few days in the southern coastal area of Brookings. The weather was perfect with blue sky and temps in the 70′s. If I had to pick a place to move on the Oregon coast, this would be the place!
From there, we went up to Sunset Bay.
And took a ton of sunset pictures, and even more flower picture.
We always visit the botanical gardens. You just cant come to Sunset Bay without a visit to the gardens. The rose garden is where you’ll find me, behind the camera!
Here’s my favorite hanging flower plant, the Fuchsia. They grow so big and pretty here.
Before we left for vacation, I whipped up these easy pies.
I made 4 pies in half pint jars from this recipe I adapted from AllRecipes. . I tried to get fancy and cut out a star and baked on top with red, white, and blue sprinkles.. I didn’t have a small enough cookie cutter so I free handed it, and boy does it show. Once I topped it with ice cream, you didn’t even know there was a star. Next time, I’ll just sprinkle the sprinkles on the ice cream, and bake up extra pastry stars to garnish and make it festive.
I did have left over pie crust so I sprinkled sugar and cinnamon on top and baked it up. It was gone once it came out of the oven!
I find it hard to pack a whole pie in an ice chest or even in that little refrigerator that is in my camping trailer. So when you bake your pie in a jar, you can stack them, put them on the door of the fridge, or with a tightly screwed lid,throw them in an ice chest.
And what a fun presentation you will make when you present your fresh baked pie topped with ice cream, in a jar!
♥ Don’t forget the sprinkles!

Such a fun idea, especially for camping! Glad you had a great trip. Gorgeous pictures.
I just LOVE this idea of pie in a jar, but I have been thinking about presentation and after add a scoop of ice cream the pie gets lost. I LOVE your idea about baking extra stars out of pie crust and adding them to the top of the ice cream. Brilliant idea!
Wow. Those are adorable and look so delicious. What a clever and creative idea. What beautiful pictures. Glad you got to visit Oregon without complete rain. Looks like a fun time.
I have loads of blackberries and even these cute jars. I love these little individual pies, and think they’re the perfect way to use my bounty of berries!
I hopped over from Sweets on a Saturday. I’m going to have to make these little pies…not just because I love blackberries, but because this is the cutest pie I’ve ever seen!
You have a new follower!

Whata great idea…sounds lovely and your pictures are so beautiful.
I have those same jars so I’m ready to try these. Good portion-control for those of us who would like to eat a whole pie.
Congratulations!
