Pumpkin. With either homemade whipped cream or Reddi-Whip. Mmmmm. I think I might ask the wife to make me one tomorrow!

After my Mom died we were invited to our neighbors house for thanksgiving.

This woman was a second mother to me. When it came time for desert she pulls out a “pumpkin “ pie with whipped cream.

Turns out the canned pumpkin was canned squash and she didn’t notice it until it was too late😂

My grandma Dinan’s cherry pie.   But I haven’t had one of those in over 20 years. My wife makes a good cherry pie and a great pecan pie.The cherries for grandma’s pies came from the trees here on our home farm. Last summer I got to eat a handful of fresh cherries as the birds were quicker than me!! 🤬

The key to a great pie is the crust, it has to be flaky and separable as well as compactable, crumbles when you break the layer of crust but comes back together easily while scraping up the crumbs, not a dough/bread like outer shell, my late grandmother was a a master of that craft, her pastry is a food group of it's own, my favourites are raspberry, blueberry and lemon merengue, apple with some cheese is pretty great as well, apple pie without some cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze

I don’t think anybody has mentioned coconut cream.  There use to be a great restaurant near here, kid you not, a slice of pie was 3-3.5” Tall with another 1.5-2” of some sort of fabulous whipped cream goodness on top and then That had toasted coconut on it.  Amazing crust. Huge. 
That being said, mom can make an apple pipe taste great from about any apple, any time of the year, frequently. 

My wife’s apple pie is slightttttly better, but it’s hard to come by  since she only uses honey crisp apples, when they are  in season, and those things cost about $1.50-$2 each around here.  Trade offs.

round - or as a second rectangular cobbler will do - peanut butter silk is dandy at perkins 

Chocolate at the Corner Cafe is pretty tasty.

Hint buy the whole pie and take it home

Crawfish pie. Shepards pie. Punkin pie. Cherry pie. Apple pie. 5'2" 110lb ginger pie. Key lime. Lemon marange. 

Has anyone had these dump cake/pies? Wife makes them and theyre great! I could swear some poor guy asked his wife to make him a pie and she just dumped all the ingredients in a pan and baked it...she thought she was being spiteful and he ended up liking it.

American  Pie...........of course...What more could you want.??...but , perhaps   like Don's  long time ago song.....American Pie is starting to slip right off the once great menu  that was offered...across the board, so to speak....

You see...all the good cooks are gone.....banished into obscurity...by a  murky   bunch of ''pot burners''.....with little thought for   "American Pie"
