Oh My, Pie!

Over the weekend, I caught the All American Pie Championship (a couple recipes there!) on The Food Network.  What’s really funny is that I told a friend of mine “I saw the best thing on the Food Network over the weekend!” and she guessed it immediately—because she had watched the same thing!  Pie is one of my favorite desserts, and there’s something very comforting to it in my opinion.  The contest was noticeably dominated by grandmotherly bakers which just heightened the comfort factor even more for me!

If I have to sit and choose my favorite pie…well, I have to break it down my category much like the contest!  In the fruit category—definitely apple.  In the cream/custard catgory—coconut cream, followed closely by lemon meringue.  And then there’s pumpkin, and pecan…two more of my favorites!  I’ve never been a big fan of French silk pie, and I’ve lost interest in blueberry, so I guess there are actually a couple pies I’m not crazy about.  What about you?

I'll have to see if I can find the woman who made it and get the recipe. It was divinely sweet and tart.
