You can eat pie any time of year, but fall is really pie season for me. It’s the time of year when apple pie seems to taste its very best and when hearty chicken pot pies are the perfect comfort food. Pies are tasty whatever filling you pile inside, and they can be fun to make and serve, as well. A new pan from Chicago Metallic that makes four individually sized pies caught my eye and so I’m giving away a Chicago Metallic Individual Pie Mold Pan – also known as a pot pie pan – to one lucky reader!

September 15, 2011Any pie is fantastic, but I’m particularly fond of peach!
Chris
September 15, 2011I love Boston Cream Pie! Or is that a cake…?
I also enjoy Chicken Pot Pie. But, does preferring biscuits over pie crust negate it’s pie-ness..?

September 15, 2011I’m a big fan of key lime pie. In the baked pies category, though, it’s Dutch apple pie.
Rene
September 15, 2011Blackberry/bosenberry pie!
Steven
September 15, 2011Favorite pie is probably apple. Or maybe chocolate creme.
Jane C.
September 15, 2011Good southerner that I am, I love pecan pie, preferably with whipped cream.
sara
September 15, 2011So adorable!!! My favorite pie is sour cherry, but if I won this I’d probably make apple pie first since it’s getting to be fall!
Megan
September 15, 2011I love too many to name them all – but I guess pecan, peach and peanut butter are my favorites, but not necessarily in that order. I make a killer chicken pot pie, but I usually only put a top crust on it…so if I win I’ll have to modify it and try it in this pan.

Pattypro
September 15, 2011Hands down, pumpkin pie is my favorite…especially for breakfast! Thanks for the chance to win, Nicole.
Linda
September 15, 2011So many great pies–hard to choose just one. I’d say my current favorite is strawberry-rhubarb because I just found this amazing bakery in Astoria, OR who does a great natural version that is so good–I can’t get enough. Otherwise, anything berry is great. Marionberry is up there and of course apple and pumpkin. The main food I miss after going vegetarian is a good pot pie–what great comfort food. A veggie one is good but nothing beats a chicken pot pie for flavor and comfort.

September 15, 2011Oooh so hard to choose just one pie! I love peach; I love banana cream; I love plum; I love pumpkin…but if I have to choose just one favorite it would be APPLE. Warm out of the oven with a flaky crust, made with local apples and served with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. There’s nothing better!
