While I usually prefer a double pie crust we opted for a crumble topping this time around and if I do say so myself it was amazing. When we finally did sit down to enjoy our plentiful meal, with a glass of wine no less, it couldn’t have been more satisfying. Late in the afternoon, we pulled the quiche and pie out of the oven, threw the lasagna in and decided to head outside for a quick walk and grab some fresh air. They day flew by as we worked side by side catching each other up on what’s been going on in our lives the past month or so- i.e, we gabbed nonstop for 6+ hours. I’m no longer intimidated and in fact, I welcome the process.Ī few Sundays ago, Heather came over for a day of baking and cooking and we spent the entire day in the kitchen making this pie, a super decadent quiche and a veggie lasagna. ![]() But after years of practicing and learning some great tips from my dear friend, Heather, who bakes dozens of pies every summer in her tiny little prep kitchen in the back of the coffee shop she runs, I finally feel like I’m getting the hang of it. It seemed like too tedious of a process and I always felt disappointed because my pies didn’t look “good enough”. They taste good and no matter what, pie always feels good.įor the longest time, I was intimidated by making pie. My pies are never pretty but that’s not the point. It’s not a quick process and making the pie from scratch takes time and patience. There is something cathartic about rolling out the dough and peeling and cutting all those apples. But I think what I love the most is the actual process of making the pie. The warm, comforting smell that permeates through the house is also right up there. Obviously eating the cinnamon and sugar dusted apples in a flakey, buttery crust is high on the list. I can’t decide what it is about pie that I love most. ![]() No ice cream or whipped cream on top for me I want it straight up as is. The apples are at their best and baking a warm pie is the perfect antidote to the chilly air outside. I could (and do!) eat it all year long but the fall season is when it really shines. Apple pie is without a doubt my favorite dessert.
