One of my favorite holiday traditions is baking pies, and there’s no better way to capture the spirit of a warm, dog-loving home than with this perfect puppy- themed pie crust. What I love about this “recipe” is that it isn’t a recipe at all. You can use your favorite pie crust and filling recipes or even a store-bought pie and crust! It’s fully customizable to add a little flair to your favorite baking traditions.

What you’ll need:

  • Your favorite cookie cutters — dog-themed of course! But hearts and other holiday shapes make great additions.
  • Your favorite pie crust, homemade or store bought (no judgment here!). You will need enough for the bottom and to cover the top of your pie.
  • Your favorite pie filling

Directions:

  1. Follow your favorite recipe for your pie crust and filling.
  2. Divide dough in half.
  3. Construct the bottom crust and filling as your recipe instructs.
  4. Roll out the top pie crust, making sure it is thin, but you are able to pick it up. (If dough is too soft, chill until it’s firm enough to roll.)
  5. Using your cookie cutters, cut out shapes for the edges and center of your pie. You can get really creative here, covering as much or as little of the pie as you like and featuring your favorite dog breed and holiday designs.
  6. To make the design pictured here, I used a mix of Dachshunds, mini dog bones and mini hearts around the edge. I then added a variety of dogs — Poodle, Labrador and Schnauzer — for the center.
  7. Arrange cutouts onto your pie.
  8. Bake your pie as instructed.
