A nod to our city’s Caribbean ties, this tart features a sublime tropical flavor rounded with island vanilla bean and crowned with fresh raspberries. An unexpected treat for those who love lemon.
A light citrusy filling with a knockout margarita flavor, spiked with Herradura silver tequila and ringed with fresh strawberries. You might call it summer’s aperitif.
This savory pie was inspired by full lives and busy weeknights!

Thank you so much for being a part of our inaugural winter season here at Windowsill Pies. It’s been great receiving so much wonderful feedback, and even more so, getting to meet and talk with you.
After having such a great Thanksgiving and Christmas, we really want to keep in touch with all of our adventurous customers. We are so impressed with you. You have been willing to traverse the potholed Mid City streets with old-timey cash money. You’ve orienteered your way to an unmarked door, with only the sweet spiced aroma of our pies to confirm your correct destination. And you’ve given us feedback and spurred ideas while sharing a gracious chat.
Pies and tarts like the Cranberry Gingersnap and the Apple Frangipane have become good friends and parting will be such sweet sorrow - but for everything there is a season, and to paraphrase The Byrds paraphrasing the Bible, “Turn, turn, turn.” So even though it might seem far away on such a cold day, spring really is around the corner. Strawberries have already been spotted at the Covington farmer’s market! So stay in touch with us and we’ll keep you up to date.
By signing up for our newsletter you will get quarterly dispatches detailing the upcoming seasonal menu. You will also be privy to rare notifications of exciting specials, such as if we stumble through a particularly fine blackberry patch.
P.S. Calm ya’self down. The Vanilla Bean Bourbon Pecan Pie is staying put on the menu!
Thanksgiving is almost here. The orders are flying in through the windowsill. We are elated by the vast amount of support. Thank you.
We want to give a shout out to Jessica Henricksen for giving us these exquisite lemons from her tree. We are using them with abandon. Nothing like local zest, I always say.
A modern tart of green apples set in a buttery almond filling traditionally known as frangipane. Brushed with an apricot and Grand Marnier glaze while it’s still warm from the oven.
Don’t let it’s apparent simplicity deceive you; this tart always disappears.
A pie of juicy pears and Lazzaroni amaretto-soaked dried cherries, peeking up through a golden latticework of crisp autumn leaves. Highlighted with a pinch of fresh grated nutmeg and lemon zest, this pie is redolent of fall days.
A pie of fresh cranberries and toasted walnuts with a hint of brown sugar and cinnamon, topped off with a homemade spiced gingersnap streusel.
The unexpected alternative to your confirmed bachelor uncle’s standard contribution of canned cranberry sauce. As Dickens says, “A Cranberry Holiday for all!”
To paraphrase: Blake said, come up with the most obscure and unprofitable idea you can think of and people will love it. Go find a windowsill in Bywater and sell your pies out of it.
Well, we haven’t borrowed a friend’s windowsill yet, but we do have a crazy plan to make our pies even more local, green, and sustainable. We bring our egg cartons and honey jars back to Hollygrove Market; why not give our customers the same opportunity with our pie dishes?
For a $10 deposit, we’ll bake your pie in a reusable glass Pyrex dish. After that it’s your choice: keep it and bake up some of your own creations, or bring it back for a refund - or better yet, have us refill it with another seasonal Windowsill Pie.
It’s like a truffle. A chocolate crust spiked with orange zest, encasing a layer of bergamot tea infused caramel beneath a rich and creamy dark chocolate ganache.
For when you want to telegraph elegance.
Our crusts are made by hand with fine European butter and high quality flour.
