Pies .... ugly but consumed.


Turns out that high fructose corn syrup..... tastes great.  There is a reason someone invented it.  Wonder how they made pecan pies before it was around. I forgot to take a photo of the dark chocolate pie... it looked much like the one in the example, except my autumn leaves weren't so exquisite.  I definitely need a pie crust 101 lesson.  It's an art.


Pecan Pie = 536 calories per slice!



Pumpkin pie #1 

Saggy Granny Apple Pie (I didn't put enough apple filling in it so the top crust sank when it cooled)

Pumpking #2  I used a different pie crust recipe.

Going to a big shin-dig in Seattle for a bunch of family and friends.  I'm on pie duty.

Attempting

1) Apple - cranberry lattice topped pie
2) Chocolate creme pie
