Yes, you can use a baking dish, such as a square or rectangular dish, to make a pie. Just be sure to adjust the baking time as needed, since the depth and shape of the dish can affect how quickly the pie cooks.
Besides a pie plate, you can use a cast-iron skillet, a tart pan, or even a springform pan. Each of these options will give your pie a unique shape and texture, so feel free to experiment!
Absolutely! Making mini pies in a muffin tin is a fun and creative way to serve individual portions. Just use small rounds of dough for the crust and fill each cup with your desired filling.
Yes, you can bake a pie in a slow cooker! Just line the slow cooker with parchment paper, add your crust and filling, and cook on low for several hours. This method results in a wonderfully moist pie.
When using a different pan, you may need to adjust the baking time and temperature. Keep an eye on the pie as it bakes, checking for doneness by looking for a golden crust and bubbling filling. It's also a good idea to check the recipe for any specific instructions related to the type of pan used.
