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 16, 2011Pecan Pie, but I never have it b/c no one else in my family likes it & we are in europe, not exactly a common dessert in these parts. I could get some frozen at the commissary , but it is not the same.

September 16, 2011I’m not sure if I have an absolute favorite, I just love pie. But coconut cream is at the top of the list, and now that I think about I realize just how long it’s been since I’ve made one. I just might have to add that to my weekend project list.

Chris at Hye Thyme Cafe
September 16, 2011My favorite pie is an Angel Lemon pie – kinda like a reverse Lemon Meringue. The meringue is the crust and you fill it with a lemon/cream mixture. Sadly, I couldn’t use this AWESOME pan for that. This is a new one one me, but if I don’t win it, I’ll definitely have to find one. Wonder if you could flip it upside down on a tray and fill it with a cake or brownie batter – might just ooze out the bottom. Hmmmm …

September 16, 2011Raspberry pie!
