NFT: NFT: What is your pie of choice?

Chocolate pudding too

Well at least my mom’s recipe made from scratch using a long neck pumpkin. Nothing compares with that

1.Apple(with cranberries and walnuts). 2 Pumpkin. 3. Cherry. What makes a good pie is the crust. With fruit pies like apple and cherry they can't be too sweet and the fruit has to be "al dente". Outside of thanksgiving I love a well done Banana Cream Pie( this can be hard to make/find)

but...every now and then on Thanksgiving if the mood hits me right I'll have a slice of pecan pie with a high ball of bourbon and it's just perfect.

pumpkin pie tastes like something I'd feed my dog.

Coconut Custard
Apple
Pumpkin

1. Apple, especially Dutch apple, rules - but only if made by someone who really knows what they are doing. A lot of apple pie is pretty forgettable.

2. Kentucky Derby pie, sort of a chocolate pecan that is out simply of this world.

3. Cocoanut cream, with lots and lots of cocoanut. Just awesome.

Honorable mentions - Blueberry with same reservations as apple, pecan, pumpkin-pecan, and good ole' chocolate pie.

I like pumpkin pie myself, but a bit off topic: pumpkin is a great treat for dogs for those who didn't know. If I'm cooking a pumpkin pie I always get an extra can to mix with my dogs food, just have to make sure to get the pure pumpkin, nothing with sugar or other additives.

All day. Every day

with a glass of bourbon x2. Nothing beats it.

Nothing quite like a good Amish shoofly pie with extra crumb topping. I've made a few myself but it's so hit or miss. I follow the recipe to the letter every time but I'd say 1 in 3 doesn't set properly so I'm doing something wrong.

Banana Creme a close second for me

pie!

Pecan is good too.

pumpkin by miles for me. The rest I couldn't care less about :)

and pumpkin is 2nd....

you never go back to pie.

But I’d go pumpkin at TG. Also a good banana cream and coconut custard is also welcome on the plate.

on the pumpkin pie???

1) Heated blueberry pie ala mode
2) Heated Dutch apple pie ala mode

1. Pecan
2. Blueberry Crumb
3. Apple.

I used to live there, but haven't been back in 7+ years. I remember people would drive from Statin Island and Brooklyn for their pies at Thanksgiving, but I wouldn't.

Is the best.

Most of my old favorites are off the menu.

Probably a toss-up between (non-dairy) pumpkin-pecan, and pecan pie. (I prefer pecan pie made with some maple syrup or unsulfured molasses replacing some of the corn syrup.)

Fun fact: George Washington's favorite pumpkin pie was a whole pumpkin baked with custard inside. I tried making this once; it didn't work quite right. I might try it again if I can figure out a way to do it with coconut milk or something.
Colonial Style Pumpkin Pie - ( New Window )

Growing up my Mom made the best Lemon Meringue Pie
Now a days I favor Cherry Pie

Then a chocolate cream pie

I think I might make some calls and see if anywhere around me makes this one, sounds awesome.

for coconut cream pie a few years ago. I made it once and it was excellent. I think I will make it for Christmas.

Growing up, my grandmother made a fantastic mince pie. I wish I had her recipe. Delicious!

.

Then apple.

Pumpkin is ok for avoiding some cases but it's made into pie because you don't have good stuff to make a pie. That's where a lot of these dishes come from. You make do.

.

Maple Pecan Pie

Any of the fruit pies - All good.

Key Lime Pie

but the place that made my favorite one ever closed years ago. It was a darker brown and was delicous...haven't been able to find one similar.

Apple

all of them

Key lime pie for rest of the year.

Apple Cobbl
Butternut Squash Pie
Pear Crisp
Pecan Pie
Pumpkin pie

All made from scratch or as scratch as you can get from the backstreets of Jersey.

Schieferstein’s on Madison Hill rd in Clark makes terrific pies as good as driving down to Colts Neck. You can call and order as well

Highly recommended!

Banana Cream and then a Chocolate Pudding would be the next 2. I like most fruit pies except apple.

On Thanksgiving, I could do without pie, but if I had to choose, it's pumpkin.

it's the worst one for you which means it's the best.

By far.

...pumpkin with whip cream. Or apple.

But I think my favorite is coconut custard, and I have to say, the TastyKake coconut custard pie is outstanding LOL try it!!!!

This and the pumpkin cheese cake reference is cheating.
