We all know that I love pie. & trust me, there is a type of pie for every season. Above is a Apple Pear Gruyere Pie I improved a few years ago. Remember the show “Pushing Daisies” about Ned the Pie Maker? Not surprisingly… I really liked that show. & the pie. So here are a few pie links as we drift into autumn.
- Bon Appetit has a slideshow of 25 Autumnal Pies to inspire you.
- I don’t usually transport my pies too far away from their home oven – but check out this Pie Carrier! It looks like a polka dot hatbox, but it could really house your favorite pie or quiche for sharing (the interior has a non-skid bottom).
- Mark Bittman seems to think that crust doesn’t pull its weight in pie – that the filling earns top billing: ” It’s that pie crust adds little to a fruit dessert apart from heft and calories.” While I don’t completely disagree (his recipes look quite yummy & friendly for the gluten-free) – I don’t think the crust is to be discounted. & the point of pie should never be how many calories it has. NEVER. I am quite adamant on the subject.
Awww yeah!!!
Holy yum. Pie is one of my weaknesses. Pie and Cake Pops.
but…would you do more transporting if you had the carrier…now that’s the question?..
i love apple pie and this blog.
While a tasty filling is key, I am strongly in the more piecrust camp.
