You are what you eat. If the famous saying holds true, then the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are 100% pizza. The Heroes in a Half Shell are the undisputed kings of scarfing down tomato pies. But these adorable, autumn-inspired pies made by Alice at Cutie Pies<\/a> might just convince\u00a0the Turtles to start chomping\u00a0down on something sweet!<\/em><\/p>\n

Here are Alice’s pro-tips for making your own TMNT pies at home:<\/em><\/p>\n

Pro Pie Tip #1: <\/strong>Our fillings get their color and flavor from natural ingredients, without loads of sugary frosting, artificial flavors or preservatives. All you\u2019ll need is a little patience and a high tolerance for compliments!<\/p>\n

For all of these, you can start with store bought, pre-rolled pie dough if you\u2019re short on time.<\/p>\n

Sewer Pie: <\/strong>Your taste buds will be shouting, “Cowabunga!” with this mutagen-green pie.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Seasonal<\/p>\n

Pro Pie Tip #2:<\/strong> Add some street-cred to your bake with a manhole cover pie. This idea works with any filling, not just the key \u201cslime\u201d used here. You can use your child\u2019s favorite flavor or opaque, key lime custard with some electric green food coloring for an authentic, \u201cmutagenic\u201d appearance. Fruit juice, a little sugar and tapioca starch create a thick, jellied consistency.<\/p>\n

If opting for custard, lay pre-baked cutouts on top of finished pie.<\/p>\n

Ninja Turtle Pies: <\/strong>Four Turtles, four flavors\u2013all Turtle-y tasty!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Seasonal<\/p>\n

Pro Pie Tip #3:\u00a0<\/strong>Print the Turtles’ faces to scale with the top of your pie pan (try these<\/a>), trace the\u00a0mask, eyes, and mouth\u00a0onto parchment paper with a pencil, and cut out. Erase the pencil marks before laying atop the remaining crust.<\/p>\n

\"Seasonal<\/p>\n

To assure your cutouts won\u2019t wind up baked under fillings (some puff while baking), bake the bottom crusts and fillings separately from the cutouts. Lay your cutouts atop the finished pies and voila\u2014a team of tasty Turtles!<\/p>\n

\"Seasonal<\/p>\n

Suggestions for fillings:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michelangelo:\u00a0<\/strong>pumpkin, sweet potato, or persimmon
\nLeonardo:\u00a0<\/strong>buttermilk or coconut custard with natural blue food coloring
\nRaphael:\u00a0<\/strong>raspberry, cranberry, or a blend of red fruits
\nDonatello:\u00a0<\/strong>purple sweet potato<\/p>\n
