How do I bake a pie in a toaster oven?
i want to make a pie for my dad for father's day, unfortunately our oven is not working at the moment. does anyone have a good strategy/tips for baking a pie in a toaster oven? or alternatively, other toaster-oven-bakeable desserts for fathers day?
Answers:
Assuming that a pie crust will fit in your toaster oven, I'd just bake it at a slightly lower temperature because of the heating elements being so close to the pie.
I would like to suggest, however, that you make a pie using Graham Cracker crust, and using a custard pie filling. Then you don't have to use the toaster oven at all.
I believe the same way, as long as you bake it at the same temperature.
Be careful - toaster ovens causes fires when get too hot. Why not make a no-bake cheesecake instead.
you don't stupid it's called buying an oven. God people are stupid!
Here are a couple of links for some toaster oven baked desserts:

Drop by large rounded spoonfulls onto a ungreased cookie sheets (about six per batch).
Press the cookies down to make them flat before baking.
Bake in a preheated 350°F for 20 Minutes or until brown at the top.
Ovens may vary, (I used a toaster oven) but these can be made as well in a regular oven. They will cook in less time in a regular oven so watch them (check them at the 10 minute mark).

Chocolate Lava Cakes with Raspberry Coulis (Toaster Oven Recipe)
"I call these treats "lava cakes" because,when properly baked, their insides are still gooey and ooze out when you cut or bite them. These cakes are an exception to the clean-toothpick rule: be careful not to overcook them, or they will be dry and unappetizing. Grind the walnuts in a coffee mill or food processor." Lynn Alley
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter,plus more for preparing pans
1/8 cup finely ground walnuts
3 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
3 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons buttermilk
2 eggs
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Raspberry Coulis
1 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup sugar
Powdered sugar for topping
Whipped cream, for topping (optional
Preheat toaster oven to 150°F. Generously butter 4 cups of a 6-cup muffin tin and then dust it with the ground walnuts.
Chocolate cakes: Place chocolate squares and 1/4 cup butter in ovenproof dish and melt in toaster oven while preparing other ingredients.
Combine flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk buttermilk and eggs together, and stir into dry ingredients.
Slowly add melted chocolate and butter to batter, blending thoroughly. Add chocolate chips and walnuts and stir until evenly distributed.
Increase oven temperature to 350°F. Pour batter evenly into prepared muffin tin and, once oven has reached the correct temperature, bake cakes for 10 minutes.
Coulis: While cakes are baking, puree raspberries and sugar in a blender, until they form a nice, thick sauce.
Remove cakes from oven and carefully remove from tin. Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and dollop of softly whipped cream over top and raspberry coulis on side.
Serves: 4
Tip: Melting chocolate in a toaster oven on low heat (about 150°F) works beautifully. There is no need to watch it constantly or to use the cumbersome bain marie technique.
