Gingerbread Pie with Phyllo Dough Crust
A super easy and festive gingerbread pie made with Athens Foodsโ phyllo dough sheets and topped with fresh whipped cream and dusting of cinnamon!

Hello my friends! Iโm so happy youโre here because today I partnered with some of my favorite friends over at Athens Foods to bring you this show-stopping, festive treat! I did a poll on instagram a few weeks ago about what kind of recipes you guys were looking for at Christmastime and the majority said something unique with traditional flavors. Well, if you ask me, this gingerbread pie is exactly that!
What is gingerbread pie
After making a ton of pies for Thanksgiving, Iโve exhausted my desire to make pie crusts so I tried something new and it turned out amazing!! If youโve never used Athens Foods Phyllo Dough Sheets as a pie crust, you are not living your best life. It is so incredibly easy to put together and makes for the most flaky and crispy crust.
I filled the pie with a simple gingerbread filling. Itโs made similar to pumpkin pie but without the pumpkin.ย
How to make gingerbread pie
To make a phyllo dough crust, I used eight sheets of dough. Lay them flat and then brush each one with melted butter. Then layer them in the pie dish, alternating the long sides. Picture a clock to make this easier to understand. Layer the first sheet with the long sides being at 12 and 6. Then the second sheet with the long side at 3 and 9, then 1ยฝ and 7ยฝ and then 4ยฝ and 10ยฝ. Repeat that sequence for the second half of the layers.
For the filling, all the ingredients just get evenly combined until theyโre smooth and silky. Pour it over the crust and bake to perfection! Perfection equals the crust being golden brown, sides of the filling being set and the center being a little jiggly still.ย

How to serve and store pie
After removing the pie from the oven, youโll want to allow it to cool at room temperature a little before refrigerating it. The pie needs to be refrigerated to fully set and it is also best served slightly chilled.
The pie can be made a few days in advance, it stays pretty fresh in the refrigerator. Before serving, top the pie with some fresh whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon!
For leftovers, either fully cover the pie with plastic wrap or place the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.ย
This gingerbread pie is literally one of the simplest, festive desserts to make this year! Itโs definitely a show-stopper with that beautiful flakey, golden crust and no one will even know that it takes about 10 minutes to put together.
