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, 2011So cute! it would be perfect to making small variations/additions to the same recipe, add some nuts/chcolate/fruit to a regular pie recipe and you can customize them.

September 15, 2011My favorite is definitely my mom’s apple pie. It was the recipe my grandmother used and the recipe her mother used. A four-generation pie that I myself make today. The crust is to-die-for! Best part! 🙂

Josh DeVaney

Randi
September 15, 2011Coconut Cream Pie! Yummy!! 🙂
Amy
September 15, 2011My very favorite pie is lemon meringue, which doesn’t go so well with the cute pie top cutter with this kit! So I’d probably make apple instead.

I love visiting your site and getting ideas for what to make for my family. Thank you.
Sarah
September 15, 2011Tried and true… Apple pie. My mother’s is the best.
Valerie
September 15, 2011My favorite pie is a rhubarb custard pie that my Mom makes every year with the fresh rhubarb from our garden. Yum!
Susan Daiber
September 15, 2011My absolute favorite pie is sour cherry with a crumb topping. Fresh sour cherries are available only for a short time and they are quite small to pit, but the effort is so worth it. Add almond extract to really bring out the flavor.
Lauren Hayslett
September 15, 2011My grandmother’s apple pie is my favorite.
rachel
September 15, 2011My grandma used to make the best blueberry pie made from wild blueberries. Oh, how I wish I could enjoy one of those pies with her and a good cup of coffee.
Natalie M.
September 15, 2011I’ll take a classic apple pie any day–yum!
Jessica
September 15, 2011banana cream pie!
Lily
September 15, 2011Berry make-it-up-as-you-go-along pie. I don’t really have a set recipe for my berry pie anymore so it ends up being different every time – I make a crust throw something looking like the proper amount of fruits and berries in a bowl with some sugar and flour, sometimes cinnamon and lemon juice, pour into pie crust, make a fun design on top with leftover dough and bake. Voila!
Laura
September 15, 2011Hmm, It’ll have to be lemon meringue!
Dezi
September 15, 2011definitely apple pie!
Rose R

Susan
September 15, 2011It has to be strawberry rhubarb pie!
Jeanna
September 15, 2011I would have to say my favorite pie to make is Chicken Pot Pie. The flaky crust the savory chicken and all the creamy veggies just make it an absolute winner in my household.
