Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I think I'm getting pretty good at this whole pie thing. In the span of an afternoon, I made not one...but two delicious pies. The first, a pear apple pie. By far one of the prettiest pies I have ever made. I read the recipe for the crust correctly this time, not adding too much sugar. It rolled our wonderfully and browned perfectly.
The recipe called for a crumb topping. I, however, opted for a top crust, which, if I do say so myself, was a good call.
I knew the crust was perfect when I made the first cut into it. The perfect combination of flaky and doughy. Man, that crust is what made the pie absolutely perfect! I am very much looking forward to my next double crust pie!!!
Yummy...you'll have to tell us what you have in mind for Turkey Day! BTW, let me know if the quest for supplies is unsuccessful...
