The Pie Pop-Up is my online baking course for everyday bakers (and even non-bakers!) who are ready to learn the art and joy of pie making.
GLUTEN FREE?
Don’t count yourself out! All of the crusts and fillings have the option to be made 100% gluten free….and I’ll show you how on THE PIE POP-UP!
WHAT IF YOU COULD CUT INTO YOUR PIE KNOWING…
It tastes nostalgic, like home, like a hug coming straight from your Southern grandma’s arms. It’s crafted from your own signature deep golden, all butter crust and stacked with flaky textured layers. Let’s not forget the perfectly cooked sweet filling just waiting for you to take your first (of many) bites.

THE PERFECTLY IMPERFECT PIE PLEDGE
I promise to give myself the time and space I need to practice the art of pie.
I promise to be mindful of how much pie I eat, knowing fully well my limit is __ slices.
I promise to at least try and bake the gluten free crust, because A) I believe gluten free doesn’t have to “taste like cardboard”, and B) I know someone in my crew will be grateful for an alternative crust option.
I promise to share my pie with those I love most.
I promise to be kind to myself and embrace the perfectly imperfect pie making process, from the very first dust of flour to the very last bite.
Next to none. What will you need? Patience and perseverance. But, if you’re reading this answer, I know you’re making an intentional decision before taking on the art of pie making. You’ll need to practice, but I know you can do it!
