PIE: it’s simple, it’s American and come Thanksgiving…….. everybody saves room for it!
This History of Pie…….
The purpose of a pastry shell was mainly to serve as a baking dish, storage container, and serving vessel, and these are often too hard to actually eat. For hundreds of years, it was the only form of baking container used, meaning everything was a pie.
read the rest at What’s Cooking America
There are few things as American as apple pie, as the saying goes, but like much of America’s pie tradition, the original apple pie recipes came from England. Pies today are treats made around the world, filled with everything from sweet apples to savory chicken.

I posted this to my FB PAGE! (not sure if this counts as the “third” entry— but I figure I’d rather over-enter and have you delete one, than under-enter!!)
Thanks so much for hosting this party! It looks like tons of fun– lots of amazing pie ideas– and so festive 🙂
I also entered Pumpkin Pie Bites!
thanks for letting me know about your pie party! i linked ‘her up… (who can say “no” to a pie party?!) such delicious-looking pies this year… has me craving pie for breakfast!
I shared my Caramel Apple Pie! I’m so excited to see all the pies this year!
I don’t have any pie recipes of my own yet (or a blog) but I love this one from here: http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/05/strawberry-rhubarb-pie/
For crust
3 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into pieces
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
10 tablespoons (about) ice water
For filling
3 1/2 cups 1/2-inch-thick slices trimmed rhubarb (1 1/2 pounds untrimmed)
1 16-ounce container strawberries, hulled, halved (about 3 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg yolk beaten to blend with 1 teaspoon water (for glaze)
I figure people who cook often don’t need as detailed instructions, so I always shorten them as much as possible. Here is my version of the instructions:
1) Make the crust
2) Mix the filling
3) Put filling in crust
4) Brush with glaze.
5) Bake @ 400 for 20 minutes, then at 350 until golden, about 25 minutes.
6) Let cool, serve, savor.
I hope this counts as an entry!

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Pie
Pie shell (either pre-made or your own recipe)
6 1/2 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
2 1/3 cups heavy cream
7oz white chocolate chips
zest of 1 orange (optional)
small package of macadamia nuts
3/4 cup whipped cream
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Beat 6 1/2 oz cream cheese with 1/3 cup of sugar until smooth, scrape sides of bowl with spatula and mix in 1/3 cup of heavy cream. Add 7oz of melted white chocolate chips, the zest of 1 orange (you can leave out orange zest if you prefer, I like it but my hubby doesn’t), 2/3 of package of crushed macadamia nuts, stir to incorporate, fold in 3/4 cup of whipped cream, spread into pie shell and level with spatula, freeze for 1-2 hours.
Boil 1/2 cup of heavy cream (careful not to scorch) pour over 3/4 cup of chocolate chips and mix until melted (if needed you can use your microwave to get smooth consistency, but be careful and do it in 10 second increments). Pour over frozen pie, smooth and let sit until slightly cool.
Beat together 1 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and remaining macadamia nuts until stiff peaks form. Spread over pie and put in fridge.
ENJOY!!! SOOOO YUMMY!!!
