Our Story
Built from tradition,
Built from tradition,
named for my mom.
Annelien's Pie Co is inspired by the flavors and values of my roots, and named in honor of my mom, Annelien, whose strength, love and heritage shaped the way I cook. Every pastry meat pie carries a piece of where I come from — real ingredients, slow-cooked fillings, and the kind of comfort food that feels like home.
After facing breast cancer, my outlook changed. Life is short, and it matters how you spend it. This business is part of that — a way to create, to share, and to live fully, with a long-term dream of a mobile pie shop selling freshly baked pies right in the community I love.

“Life is short. I decided to spend mine doing what brings me joy.”
I'm Danelle, the creator behind Annelien's Pie Co — named in honor of my mom, Annelien, and inspired by the traditions I grew up with. After facing breast cancer, I was reminded just how precious life is, and I decided to follow my passion: making handcrafted, South African-style meat pies that bring comfort and joy to others.
Every pie reflects my roots, my love for real food, and my dream of building a mobile pie shop — a place where I can share fresh-baked pies with my community. This business is how I'm living fully and turning that dream into reality.

From Freezer to Table
How to bake your pies
01
Keep them frozen
Straight into the freezer when you get home. No need to thaw — the pies bake best from frozen.
02
Preheat the oven
Heat your oven to 400°F and set the pies on a baking tray, still in their foil tins.
03
Bake until golden
Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes from frozen, until the pastry is deep golden and the filling is piping hot through the middle.
04
Rest, then eat
Let stand 5 minutes out of the oven so the filling can settle. Wonderful with fries, gravy, or your favorite dipping sauce — or simply enjoy on its own.
Ovens differ — keep an eye on the crust and pull them when they are deep golden.
