YUM

another experiment idea - try apple cider (freshly pressed of course) rather than water in your pie crust recipe. :)

My one addition to your pie - which looks DIVINE - is after you toss your apples, put them in a pot and let them cook a little until the juices are thick (you COULD leave out the cornstarch too) and then put it in the pie. This makes the sugars come out of the apples (hence, less sugar)and makes a spectacular pie. I vote, PIE-OFF!

From my late cousin, Travis, pie-lover extraordinaire: “I like any kind of pie. I like ‘em all — pumpkin, lemon meringue, apple, cherry, blackberry, chocolate. One kind I don’t like, though. Cow Pie.”

The boy is eating pie in heaven now, I just know it.

I perfected a great pie crust -- it's from that French lady, Madame Kamman. It's pretty simple, even though it's, you know. European and chic. Of course I forgot to write it down.

And... (since I think this comment should be a tiny bit longer) I've got Girl Scout cookies for you over here, Lelo. What do you think about the occasional cooky?

I absolutely LOVE what KISS means! Ingenious! Your pie is beautiful and thank you for the links for both the pie crust and step-by-step photos. I am always looking for alternative pie crusts to go with my different recipes. BTW, I also love your blog. . .Beautiful!

A fine set of rules. The American fruit pie stands at the apex of civilized eating. I have eaten desserts in a number of foreign countries and none compare.

I totally agree that fruit pies should not be supersweet and that canned fruit pie fillings are anathema.

And congratulations on being recognized for Photo of the Day! Your photo is gorgeous. The light and the apples...well, it makes me hungry just looking at it. Lucky I have a homemade apple pie in the kitchen right now. It's not that pretty but, it's made with granny smith apples and is fairly low in sugar so I know it will tart and tasty.

Happy Pi Day!

3.14- Pi day-- I love it. My father taught me to make pie crusts years ago. It's the only way to go. Canned pie filling is absurdly sweet and non-fruit like. I'm with you- it's all about the fruit.

As always, I am in awe of your fluting skills!

That is one beautiful pie! And I'm totally with you about those rules. Make it local and make it from scratch.

I would be baking a pie right now, but I am just not confident enough in my crust making skills to make one solo. It's too bad, because J is a pie person and could really use (and deserves) a pie.

2008-03-14T16:25:00.000-07:00

My pie is in the oven. I have no dinner to go with it, but after reading this post, I had to make my apple pie RIGHT NOW. I blame you for my apple pie dinner.

So, do we get to have homemade vanilla ice cream with it? Or is that breaking the rules? Because I'm a definite lover of the stuff. Looks fantastic. Fresh peach is my favorite!

2008-03-14T14:43:00.000-07:00

I hereby adopt your rules as official rules of Pi Day. Well except for the one about no cream pies. But they're excellent rules, for sure!

Thanks so much for playing along with such spirit, it means the world to have your pie contribution.

I really believe there are pie people in this world and cake people. I'm a cake person. There are also chocolate people and candy people. And knitting people and quilting people. Who's into a cage match?
