Ok - no childish pie comments please. I'm wondering what everyones favorite pie is...do you have a favorite recipe?
Not really a pie but Boston Cream pie was my favorite as a kid. Now I'd have to stick with the classic apple, with lots of cinnamon!
I do like Key Lime Pie a lot and dutch apple pie (I'm with Westy on the cinnamon thing too...and nutmeg) served warm or pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream.
That's my vote too. My mom makes a very tasty one with a bit of chocolate in it. Maybe she'll make me one when I go home to visit next month. hopefully....
my mom's homemade apple pie is awesome. nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon... i like pumpkin, blueberry and pecan too, hell even mincemeat. key lime is good too. lemon meringue might be the only pie i don't like, mainly because of the meringue
I don't care, just gimme a piece. Oh wait, I gave up refined sugar...nevermind. I'll just take a Jamacian beef patty and call it good.
Shredded Granny Smith apples soaked in lemon juice. Add tons of cinnamon and sugar and bake in a pastry crust w/ a streusel crumb topping that includes finely chopped pecans. Serve warm with fresh coffee. Die happy.
similar to lemon meringue without the meringue. its also "no bake" (more often than not, there a million different recipes) mix everything together and it sets up in the "icebox". made with a graham cracker crust, lemon juice, and eagle brand condensed milk. mmmmm, so goood. my grandmother makes a killer lemon icebox pie.
I'm partial to Key Lime, and Coconut Cream pies. Apple with Vanilla ice cream on top is damn good as well. I've seen a few people Melt a thin slice of cheese over their Apple pie. Anyone ever try this?
My favorite pie is one that's in front of me... Lemon, lime, blueberry, strawberry, peach, apple, coconut, rhubarb, rhaspberry, blackberry, etc, etc, etc If it's in a piepan, I'll eat it.
I like Pumpkin with whipped cream. If I go the a la mode route, I prefer the pie room temp not heated, I like some berry deal with lots of vanilla bean ice cream off to the side. Eat the pie, then ice cream. Feel like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally.:nuts:
Que? That is like a cucumber peanut butter sandwich? Why ruin a good slice of cheese or a slice of pie?
