Many crust recipes call for all-purpose or pastry flours that offer lower amounts of protein compared to Kodiak Cakes products. While these are traditional options, you can actually substitute in Kodiak Cakes and get an equally delicious result. Using Kodiak Cakes not only packs in more protein than other flour alternatives, but you can also count on wholesome nutrition from 100% whole grains with each bite! Here are four steps to help you master your Thanksgiving pie crust using Kodiak Cakes:
Nothing can quite top a good apple pie, and our Thanksgiving Apple Pie recipe is evidence of that. This recipe has all the appeal of a traditional apple pie, with sweet slices of Granny Smith that are perfectly balanced alongside savory spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. What sets it apart, however, is a crust made using Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Power Cakes to boost the nutrition in each slice with 100% whole grains and protein.
Thanksgiving Dinner wouldn’t be complete without a slice of pumpkin pie. Our Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie recipe brings that nostalgic taste of pumpkin to the table while using Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Power Cakes to make a more wholesome pie crust. Add a sweet garnish like sugar-coated cranberries or a side of whipped cream to make your pie one Thanksgiving guests won’t forget.
Baking your own pie doesn’t have to be a big to-do. If you need a simple, yet oh-so-delightful pie to serve at your Thanksgiving dinner party, look no further than our S’mores Pudding Pie. This recipe uses crushed Kodiak Cakes Honey Bear Bites as a quick pie crust and features a smooth chocolate pudding filling. Top with roasted marshmallows to add a finishing touch that brings back memories of summer nights spent around a campfire.
