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, 2011This makes me think of one of my favorites, my mom’s chicken pot pie–she would add celery seeds in the crust for extra texture and flavor!

September 15, 2011My favorite is actually a combination of my two favorite flavors, raspberry and cherry. I just use a can of each flavor of pie filling, mix it together and viola! It’s a family hit and is asked for whenever we have a family get together.

September 15, 2011Hi,
My favourite pies are savoury – mushroom and caramelized onion or the classic chicken/mushroom.
For dessert I’d go with peach pie with cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg in a flaky crust…mmmm 🙂
The pan is lovely and I can imagine all the wonderful varieties I could make.

September 15, 2011Apple pie is my favorite if it is well made, meat pies being my close second. But really, as long as it isn’t mincemeat, there is probably something redeemable about any pie 🙂
Melinda
September 15, 2011Banana cream pie or peppermint pie!
Allison C
September 15, 2011This pan looks like so much fun! My all-time fav pie is strawberry rhubarb, but right now I’m craving veggie pot pie! This would be a great pan to prep and then freeze spare pot pies! Or fruit pies…
