Why Don't We Talk About Pies On Here?
Lounge By BellaSweet Updated 15 Dec 2009 , 4:39am by Luvsthedogs
We all talk about cookies (decorated and undecorated), brownies, cheesecake. Why not pies guys?? I love to bake cookies and cakes. But there is such a simplicity to pies. And there are great recipes out there. I know pies aren't as popular, but hey I am young wife with husband who loves pie. Key Lime pie to be exact. He has had it all over the place. And I am proud to say that he feels mine is the best. And I know it;s not just him being my husband. A friend of our lived in Florida for most of his life. They had a Key Lime fair. And the local popular pie shop won every year. And he and his family tells me that their's is no comparison to mine. I don't make very nice cakes. My cookies are alright. But pie is the one thing I have to be proud of. And it just makes me feel like a good little wife to make a pie. So how bout it guys. How bout some pie?
I love pie and actually prefere it to cake!
I'm glad that we're getting close to pumpkin pie time, I made a couple last year for Thanksgiving and they were the bomb!!
You know I just had pumpkin pie for the first time last year. It was great!! Sme with sweet potato pie. Mmmmm. I always thought pie had to have nuts to be good. Not anymore. Pie is great in any form.
Melvin01- Hi there. IT's nice to share a hometown with someone here.
Oh yeah...Pies...yummmy!
I've just started baking pies for customers...Any help or ideas would be great!
I actually had a customer think that my lemon pie filling was from a can ....go figure..I have a lemon tree at my house, wait til they are vine ripe, pick..squeeze...make pie filling! And she thought it was canned??? Can't get any more REAL or fresh than that. I think she's used to the can and doesn't know what fresh tastes like.
How about pastries also?? I could always use some new ideas...
My favorite pie ever is from The Elegant Farmer. It is over by Milwaukee. They bake their apple pies in a brown bag coated with butter. The pie crust is carmilized and completely orgasmic. No, I didn't mean organic. Has anyone ever heard of this method, or know how to do this? I would love to try, but I am deathly afraid of the combination of fire from my gas oven, butter and paper. I have renters insurance, but I don't think it covers ignorance.
i loovee all kinds of pies
im with you on that
seagoat that picture is making me drool
anybody wanna share a great pie recipe??
I would love to talk pie! I too, love pie over cake any day! So does the hubby. (BellaSweet, maybe our hubby's are related, pie makes mine drool! )
I am a recipe collector, so I have tons and love to share them. I swear by my pie crust and won't use any other.
I am also glad fall is here, time for cranberry, pumpkin (though I almost always use butternut or pink banana squash instead) sweet potato, apple, eggnog etc.
I am already missing the peaches and blueberries, though I keep several pies frozen in the deep freeze for later in the cold months so we can have a taste of summer.
My faves are spiced blueberry, gooseberry, shoo-fly, chess and raspberry cream.
At Thanksgiving I am required to do pie, and usually make between 11-15 the day before. Yum.
LOLOL you bring this up. Cake is VERY secondary to what I make. I love the peeps here.

I absolutely love pie!!! Especially cream pies. I grew up in Idaho and every year I wanted a birthday pie instead of birthday cake....... (Oops-can I say that on this forum without being pounded???? The pie I wanted was always a German Chocolate Pie. The bakery we got it from has since closed, but I've wished for years that I had their recipe. It was different then most German Chocolate pies. It had one white layer that was a creamy coconut flavor with added pecans. On top of that was a layer of chocolate with added coconut, then it was topped with whipped cream -mmmmmmmmm I'd kill for another piece of that pie!!! It was the best German Chocolate pie I've ever eaten. Ohhhh, how I miss that pie!
It's a good thing I love pie!
I didn't know that at almost 32 I would become allergic to eggs. There are a lot of great pies that need eggs, but not all of them.
My grandmother's cherry pie was always my very favorite dessert. Now that I make it, I have a few people who beg me for it. But I don't dare tell them it is the easiest dessert to make! I think a lot of people don't know of any cherry pie except with the gloppy filling. Red tart cherries with a thick juice...man, so good!
I'm all for doing some pie baking for awhile. I want to try that suggestion of using alcohol for the liquid...was that you Mike?
BellaSweet.....I'm ready for your recipe. I have a key lime recipe but it is more like cheesecake.
The best pie I ever ate was a berry pie with a cream cheese layer. I have never been able to find the recipe, if anyone has it. I ate it at Bakers Square about 15 years ago.
Oh I love cream pies and hubby loves the fruit pies! I dont get to make them often because I always have to make cakes for people. We both love shoo-fly, chess and lime !
Oh BellaSweet! I LOVE LOVE LOVE key lime pie!!!!! Heck, I love key lime anything!!!!
I'd love to try your recipe!!!!
I also make an apple pie; well, it's not so much as pie as it is a freeform tart..........but it is SOOOOO yummy!!!!

Ok, so I am going to give away a secret. So promise not to tell .... the recipe I use is from a baking book. AHHHHHHH. I can't believe I said it. I don't like to tell that I cheat So I will have to post it tomorrow. I am forgetting the measurement on the milk. I love the way that passionfruit one looks. MAn oh man how I would love that today.
sarahpierce, I checked out their website. That pie looks AWESOME!!! and the price is very reasonable too. I would love to find out the recipe for the brown bag. My sister make a killer Apple and if she incoporated the brown bag method with her recipe...........? Just thinking
OMG pie is awesome!! I have this great cranberry cherry pie I make during the holidays when I can get fresh cranberries. Need to find the recipe in my files and I will post it. It's sooo yummy, sweet and tart..mmm...

Yes it was. I've tried it a few times since. Not an appreciable difference. If you have a great crust your happy with stick with it.

I've got a recipe for Brown Bag Apple Pie that my neighbor gave me. I've never made it myself but it was very good. It looks a little different than the pie your talking about, her pie has a crumb topping. However, I think all you need to do is wet the outside of a large brown paper bag. Put the pie inside, staple the end shut and then cook it. She cooked her pie at 350 for 1-1/2 hours. The bag didn't burn at all. I think you can use about any apple pie recipe then just cook it inside the bag. You could give it a try.
According to this recipe from the Food Network; the bag helps to keep the apples juicy while cooking and keep the crust from burning.

This reminded me that I have 2 of my grandmother's pie pans I need to take back to her if I want them refilled for thanksgiving.
One clue why pies are mentioned often, the name of the site is CAKE Central.
Maybe somewhere there is a PIE Central.

Wow your pretty smart.

I have discovered the joy of pie making in the past couple of years, even had a few people order. But I have a confession to make-
I am afraid of pie crust. I use the frozen/refrigerated kind.
Can anyone make me an honest woman and help me make a respectable crust?
I LOVE buttermilk pie. If anyone would want to share their buttermilk pie recipe I would love them forever. I ve tried several different recipes, but can find one I like.
