Apple cheddar pie for book group. Bits of crust and filling taste great. Can't wait to slice into it. I suspect I'll want more cheese so I'll probably incorporate it into the dough. I also have to work on my crust crimping skills.

I had to make 7 pies for Thanksgiving and freaked out--bought this book. The pecan ginger bourbon pie was fantastic!! Everyone said it was the best ever. Banoffe, not quite, because of making caramel from boiling evaporated milk. Would be great with regular caramel. What's yr favorite pie book?

Marchpane Pecan ginger bourbon sounds amazing! 8y
KarenUK I'm Great British Bake Off obsessed so had to be this one! (Plus half the recipes are savory and half sweet) 8y
Cortg Why do I not have a pie cookbook??!! Pie is my absolute favorite dessert and I'm just now realizing I should have a cookbook just for pies! My perfect heaven would be a large, southern porch, sipping iced tea, and eating pie with friends and books. I need a pie cookbook, STAT! 8y

EloisaJames @KarenUK I'm absolutely obsessed as well! I have 2 of the official cookbooks--Celebrations is pretty good. I'll check this one out. 8y
EloisaJames @Cortg I have 4 ! Secret of happiness! 8y
Lynnsoprano @Cortg I don't either, yet when I bake, it's almost always pies. But I have about 20 years worth of Southern Living annual recipes to use. Still...😊 8y
Audrey So glad the pecan bourbon pie was a hit. I'm making the apple cheddar pie next week for book group. It's also a practice pie for an informal apple pie contest in January. Not a pie book, but I love Dorie Greenspan and her desserts. I met her yesterday and she was so charming, nice and fun. Her new cookie book is fab. 8y
Audrey Plus, isn't everything better with bourbon? Ps I also love Great British Bake Off, although in my house, I just call it BAKING SHOW!! 8y
EloisaJames @Audrey sounds great. I've never had one but maybe with sharp cheddar? 8y
Audrey Yes, sharp cheddar is what I was thinking, along with al dente apples. Years ago, I made an apple crisp like thing with a biscuity topping. Cheddar in the topping and worked out so deliciously. What were the other 6 kinds of pie? 8y
EloisaJames @Audrey in the topping? I have to read that recipe! I had 4 pumpkins, 1 apple, the pecan, and 1 banoffe from the same book 8y
