Making your own pies from scratch is a thoroughly religious experience.
Baking a pie is easily one of our favorite things to do on a crisp fall afternoon. It is the pleasure of rolling the perfect pie dough to the perfect thickness, setting it into a heavy ceramic baking dish, and crimping the edges of the dough just so. It is the aroma of baked apples, freshly ground cinnamon, toasted pecans, and buttery crust being baked in the oven. It is the pride in serving your warm autumn pie to friends and family with a side of vanilla ice cream. Sound seductive? We offer you these words of advice before you begin.
