These little bite-sized pecan pies are one of my absolute favorites. They are a festive addition and will provide some visual variety to any dessert spread or cookie platter.

Hand pies are individual servings of pie that transport well for picnics and lunchboxes. Because of the individual portions you can make a variety of fillings and the dough freezes well if you only want to bake a small amount at a time. They were the perfect choice for me because I only had one cup of sour cherries to work with.

Given my son’s ongoing interest in all the colors of the rainbow, I decided to incorporate the rainbow into our dessert. A thin, chewy sugar cookie topped with refreshing lemon curd makes the sun and an array of summer’s fruits makes the rainbow.

This Easter I decided that it was time to continue a family tradition and make my family’s pineapple meringue tarts in honor of Great Aunt Tadsie. Similar to lemon meringue pie, there is something light and refreshing about these tarts. And the bright yellow color and sunny pineapple flavor make them a perfect spring treat.

Fruit crisp is one of my favorite desserts because the oatmeal crumble on top adds a sweet crunch to each bite while allowing the fruit to remain the star of the dessert. I use whatever fruit is in season so this time I chose peaches for a grand finale of summer.

These coconut macaroon tartlets are one of my favorite desserts for any event. With the addition of blueberries in this rendition, they made it on my Tapas For a Cure menu.

I love this pie during summer and I love this pie during winter (when I’m dreaming of summer). The “little wild blackberries” are the perfect combination of tart and sweet. If you don’t have wild Pacific blackberries you can use the berry of your choice.

This is such an easy dessert and a great way to use up pie crust scraps for the garnish. Sugar cookies would also be a great topper if you don’t have any pie crust handy. I like making an assortment so that everyone can have their favorite and so you can take advantage of all of the fresh fruits of summer.

Your kids can help make these pocket pies which are like a cross between a piece of pie and a fruit-filled pastry. Let them choose their favorite fruit filling and let them cut them in the shape of their choice.

I have been making these for a long time and they have never let me down. They are bite-sized, refreshing and the perfect combination of sweet, creamy and tart.
