“Glazed & Confused” Old-Fashioned Poppy Seed Pie

Imagine the nostalgic charm of an old-fashioned donut meeting the comforting essence of poppyseed bread in each slice. This pie boasts a rich, buttery chess pie filling, generously speckled with poppy seeds for a delightful crunch and a subtle nutty undertone. The sweetness of the pie is balanced by the zesty brightness of the orange glaze.

Baking out of a remodeled 1930’s Victorian bungalow in the Bishop Arts District in Dallas, Texas, Megan Wilkes and Mary Gauntt are creating beautiful, handmade pies with local and seasonal ingredients at Emporium Pies. Since 2011, the artisanal pie maker has been putting a fun, imaginative twist on classic pie flavors like Lord of the Pies and The Drunken Nut.
