it's true ... i've never made a pie before.
until last thursday.
inspired by this pin via pinterest,
i decided to attempt my first pie, pumpkin and fearless.
using store bought pie crust. i know, baby steps. i crafted this beautiful crust.
it was easier than it looked. and totally worth it.
i used canned pumpkin, which she once told me was ok, and her word is gold.
i followed the recipe on the back of the can with minor changes to the spices used.
it turned out better than expected. beautiful and delicious. really delicious. and really beautiful.
i did it. i made pie!
You made pie!! awesome! I always use ready made crust, lol. Your braid is beeyootiful!
ReplyDeletegood job, I can almost smell it through the screen..can't wait for Thankgiving.
Wow - that's some first-try pie! Beautiful crust. This is my first comment - really enjoying your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhoah, your first pie has a crust like that?! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove that braided edge - so pretty! I'm pinning that beauty!
ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous, Michael. And if you ever start a blog solely for cooking and baking, I suggest "Pumpkin and Fearless" as a the title. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe braided crust makes it look so professional! It looks really good!
ReplyDeleteoooooo very fancy!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the pie...the braiding around the edge really makes it :)
ReplyDeleteYummy & beautiful! What more could I want in a pie!?
ReplyDeleteHow could this possibly look this good? Huh? It's beautiful - like something out of a magazine. That braided crust is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI have made pie but they never look good. Mostly cause I'm impatient and don't take the time with the crust. But they are still tasty. PS - Try the Pioneer Woman's crust. It is awesome and pretty simple.
THAT my dear, is THE most beautiful pumpkin pie I have ever laid eyes on. Heck, I've never even ever made a pie. Yours turned out perfectly delectable. It also photographed beautifully. Congratulations! My hat's off to you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWere you one of those kids who didn't talk until you could say a perfect sentence? Cuz seriously, that pie is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've made hundreds!
ReplyDeleteLove the braided edge.
I've never seen a pie with a braided crust before! Great WOW factor there. Well done!
ReplyDeleteWowie wow wow! Makes me wanna braid bread dough, cookies, more pies! This is gorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteI've made lots of pies, but never one this gorgeous. I LOVE it. And your simple white scalloped pie dish is pretty awesome too. ~Lili
ReplyDeleteYay for you! You make me want to go make one myself. I'm enjoying reading your back posts. I like your style, short and sweet and to the point.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! I would love to make pie too, but have never tried. I love the braiding!
ReplyDeleteOooh I LOVE your crust!! I'm definitely keeping this in mind for my pumpkin pie this year :)
