November 24, 20187 yr Apple, pecan, coconut merange, lemon merange, or chocolate merange. Apple can be dutch or double crust.
November 24, 20187 yr The king of pies is apple pie al a mode, unless you consider adding a scoop or two of really good vanilla bean ice cream cheating. Were I on death row my final meal would be a gallon of vanilla bean ice cream, and a whole deep dish apple pie.
November 25, 20187 yr Having already destroyed a pecan pie this week, as well as doing a pretty solid number on both a pumpkin and a blackberry pie, there is only one thing left to do: Start in on the apple.
October 16, 20205 yr Author Popular Post First pumpkin pie of the year - tuning up for Thanksgiving...
October 17, 20205 yr Rhubarb pie is the goat IMO but it’s seasonality keeps it off a lot people’s radar. Best apple pie I’ve had in a long time was the apple pie I bought at Schobel’s in Columbus Texas about 5 years ago. Pic is from google. Edited October 17, 20205 yr by Covri Better pic of the top

October 17, 20205 yr Pumpkin pies are pretty easy to make, but you need about 4-5 hours to do it right. Whole Foods has a good frozen pie crust and filling. I want to make my own sweet potato pie, but I can’t find the filling anywhere. It is on Amazon, but you have to buy a prepper bunker amount in bulk. If you’re in Houston, don’t wait in line at Flying Saucer. Pie Factory off Bellaire Blvd is better and no lines. They’re sweet potato pie is phenomenal.

October 18, 20205 yr My Granny make a pie that was out of this world. I only heard it called Mother's Pie, never knew the real name or if there even was one. It was sort of a cross between pecan and mince meat (but it wasn't mince meat or as sweet as straight pecan). We searched through her recipes, but there wasn't one. I guess it died with her, but what I wouldn't give to have one more slice. It might be a version of this. It looks close, but I could have sworn there was chopped apple in it. Been 40 years since I had a bite so I could be wrong. Quote Firstly, this recipe does not use corn syrup, which is a major ingredient in most pecan pie recipes. The result is that this pie, while still being rich, does not have the heavy stickiness that so often occurs with pecan pie. Secondly, there is something about the addition of raisins in this filling that creates an element of perfection that you never realized was missing before. The crunchy, toasty pecans pair perfectly with the chewy fruitiness of the raisins; combined with the silky, buttery filling and a perfectly flaky crust…well, say goodbye to pie as you once knew it. You’re going to be ruined after one bite. Just like my uncle. I do have an affinity for a good Peanut Butter pie with Oreo crust. Edited October 18, 20205 yr by RPM
October 18, 20205 yr Buttermilk pie from New York Hill in Thurber is glorious especially after eating their CFS.

October 18, 20205 yr Don’t really ever eat pie, but my wife’s 300 year old grandmother can make a mean lemon icebox pie. Alternatively I will eat a key lime pie. Basically it needs to be sour and have a graham cracker crust.
October 18, 20205 yr I love pecan pie as well, It’s in my top three. I’m in the camp of chopped fine pecans for the pie, I know lots of folks that prefer pecan halves. I also like chocolate pecan pie and bourbon pecan pie. I make lots of pies throughout the year. Any of you pie dorks ever had a Jeff Davis Pie? It’s so damn good, similar to a chess or custard pie. I don’t make it very often, wife thinks it’s overly sweet, which means I eat most of it. @RPM, wish I could help out with a recipe for your grandma’s pie recipe, my grandma made mincemeat cookies but not a pie.

October 18, 20205 yr Key Lime Pie Peach Pie Apple Pie Cherry Pie Buttermilk Pie Fur Pie, hold the fur
October 18, 20205 yr My top five, like y'all care: 1. Lemon meringue made by my now deceased Mom. 2. Lemon meringue made by my wife. (Curiously, she has never been photographed.) 3. Lemon chess pie made by me. 4. Mincemeat pie made by me. 5. Chocolate meringue pie made by my now deceased Grandma.
October 18, 20205 yr On 10/16/2020 at 2:04 PM, Armybrat said: First pumpkin pie of the year - tuning up for Thanksgiving... Same. Working on it. Except these are pies #3, #4 and #5 (in the oven). And as you can see from the Tupperware full of purée and the half pumpkin remaining to be puréed, there will be many, many more. My 6-year-old planted pumpkin seeds last year. I told her they probably wouldn't grow; she planted them too late. The 23-pounder that's being processed/baked into pies here, and the 30-pounder not in the photo, say otherwise.

October 19, 20205 yr Pumpkin pie is really good, and it makes me thankful a) for the autumn and holiday season and 2) that I'm not a basic white girl (as far as I know). Sweet potato pie is superior, though... and I say this as a life long pie scholar and aficionado. But it's incremental- Pumpkin's range is 7- 8.5, Sweet potato starts with a baseline at an 8.5. While I'm here, let me repeat myself and echo the testimony of my brothers and sisters in this congregation: Pie is superior to cake. Pie takes craftsmanship and artistry, Cake is a icing transportation device. Edited October 19, 20205 yr by NWBuck

October 24, 20205 yr Pies. #6 and #7 for the season, fourth and fifth from the one pumpkin. Used bacon drippings instead of pure lard for the crust; now the house smells like pumpkin spice bacon. 😁

October 24, 20205 yr This single best pie, which may actually qualify as cake since it’s cheesecake based, is Dupars blueberry cream cheese pie. It is the most delicious thing I may have ever placed in my mouth.

I go through phases on pumpkin, hate it, love it, hate it, etc... have never tried sweet potato pie but I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes. And I'd probably go Pie, Cobbler, Cake in that order.

Let dry hilariously enough, I was thinking of almond butter glaze - not an almond + butter glaze thanks for the info haha can't believe I screwed that one up
November 21, 20205 yr Author I like cake too, but had never cared for the bunt or rum types until we got a recipe from my SIL. Damn good (Chopped pecans baked into the top with a Bacardi rum glaze soaked in nicely) especially with a scoop of ice cream. This one - Mrs. Brat’s second effort - is for our granddaughter’s 28th birthday (no pics).
