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, 2011That pan is adorable! My favorite pie is pretty much any one with a crust, since that’s the best part, IMO! If I had to pick a filling to go along with it, I’d choose apple.

September 15, 2011Fall and winter, but mostly fall, seem to be the only times of the year I do actually create pies. My favorite sweet ones are always those with a custard base… but I think my all time favorite is a savory pie I bake in the winter. It’s very thin and filled with caramelized onions, walnuts, dried cranberries and gorgonzola… YUM!
Lina
September 15, 2011I loove banana cream pie, although I also enjoy (quite a bit) key lime (especially with whipped cream), peanut butter (YUMMY), and blueberry streusel.
Cooks Illustrated has a recipe for Rice Pudding Pie that I made once…it was really tasty too!
