Pie is one of my very favorite things. There's something very simple and homey about a slice of pie. I'm a fan of all pie: pumpkin, coconut creme, pecan, cherry, chocolate silk, you name it. My least favorite is apple, which just happens to be Merril's favorite. Also, apple is very time comsuming to make. I have to peel the apples, slice them, core them, blah, blah, blah. But, I've found that apple pie's edible as long as I drizzle my whole slice with caramel sauce. Then it's more like caramel apple pie. Yum!
So as a homecoming present for Merril, I started making apple pie last night. I finished up around 10:30. Here's the pie right out of the oven. So yummy!
Here's the pie this morning. There wasn't enough light to take a good picture last night so I waited until this morning. I've got a nice tub of vanilla bean ice cream to make it apple pie ala mode. Maxine has hidden the pie in the pantry because she wants it to be a surprise for Daddy! Yum! Hooray for pie! Any other pie lovers out there??

I'm not a big fruit pie person. Aaron has just converted me to pecan pie, but only because I add milk chocolate chips to it. So I guess its a compromise pie.
You made it a week alone! Good job.
I love pie, too. I think my favs would be peach and strawberry. I did find apple pie is much better if it's made with fresh apples instead of the gross stuff they try to pass off as apple pie filling at the stores. Blah. I have recently discovered I also love pecan pie. Yum!
