What's your favorite Pie ?

[fortworthgal]

We have "House of Pies" in Houston, at least two of them. Is it the same thing? Ours is also a diner type place that's open 24 hours. Great food and they have been here as long as I can remember.

Next time I'm in Houston, I'm lookin that place up.

My wife is a cutey pie. Does that count?

Go to the one on Upper Kirby between Richmond and Westheimer, it's the oldest and the best (isn't that the way it always is).

Family Recipe

My aunt Katherine's "candy pie." I have the only copy of the recipe.

It involves a graham cracker crust, cream (skimmed from the milk - not easy to find), eggs and little crumbled bits of chocolate.

It is served only at Christmastime.

I love family favorites that come out on special occasions! Christmas especially, the whole family whips out some incredible desserts and dishes
Another great one is eclair...it's really easy to make too

 

[Pilgrim]

Mine are "da big two": Apple and Pumpkin. On occasion, I'll go Key Lime or French Silk, but if you wanna see some serious pie appreciation, make it apple or pumpkin with a big mound of whipped cream.

Oooh, I like the sound of that! (Did you see that "notorious candy pie recipe" that was making the rounds recently, that had 2000~ calories/slice due to consisting mostly of Snickers bars and heavy cream?)

Agreed! Nothing can top my mom's apple pie with some melting vanilla ice cream on top, except maybe my mom's carrot cake. For some reason I can never exactly reproduce either recipe. Pumpkin pie is simple enough - I'm happy if it's from a can! Squash pie too.

If you're ever in the Los Feliz area (in Los Angeles), go straight to the "House of Pies" on N. Vermont Avenue and order a slice of their strawberry cream pie. Unbelievably delicious!

The pies are okaaay. I go there for late night coffee every once in awhile.

BTW, that corner of the street was on Double Indemnity.

My grandmother used to make a lemon icebox pie that was wonderful--that was always my favorite (followed by key lime, pecan, and French silk.) I wish I had the recipe for that lemon icebox though...

Seeing as I'm craving pie as I write this...

1. Coconut Cream
2. Key Lime (I am a Floridian, after all...)
3. Sweet Potato

Favorite pies

Blueberry is #1 but ONLY with fresh berries. Next comes cocoanut cream, followed by pecan.

 

[green papaya]

chicken pot pies

apple pies

pecan pies

sweet potato pie with whip cream on top

 

[Daisy Buchanan]

Yum, sweet potato pie, yum.
Cherry Pie and Pumpkin Pie are also favorites. In no order, really depends on the season.

I had a delicious (and huge) slice of peach cream pie at Rio Concho Cafe & Aviation a couple of weekends ago. Rio Concho is a tiny little diner at a small local airfield - one of those places that the locals all frequent. People literally fly in just to buy their pies - thus their motto - "Pies to fly for." lol

 

[DancingSweetie]

I love making pies. My favorite is apricot, sometimes I add blackberries to it. I love to eat lemon meringue but I don't make those myself.

 

[harmonslide]

Oh, wow. Pie.


1. Key Lime. Fantastic, fantastic stuff. Definitely my favorite.
2. Apple pie. Homemade this stuff is crazy good.
3. Cherry.

There are many, many poor pie imitations out in stores. The homemade good stuff can't be beat!

 

[RetroModelSari]

German cheesecake (it´s way more creamy than American one I heared)
Pumpkin Pie (this one I had for the first time when I was in California last year and wanna have it AGAIN)
Strawberry Pie with a loooooooot of whipped cream
Swedish Almond Pie is super-yummy, too....

I´m a sucker for pies....

 

[Sweet Leilani]

Mmmmmm, peach!

I just baked this one, and yes, it was still warm when I had a piece!
