Shane_B. Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 OMG. Best punkin' pie I ever had. I made it from sweet pumpkins I grew this year. I'll never be able to eat a store bought one again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane_B. Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 Reminds me of Ridgetop by Jesse Colin Young. "a yard full of bushes that turn in to pie in July". And the rest of it too ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep a stash in the freezer for such emergencies, I was waiting for it to thaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertWS Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 The worst apple pie is better than the best pumpkin pie. Trust me...I'm kind of a pie maven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya know, I've never been a fan of apple pie. How un-American of me. 😁 My mom could bake and cook. OMG. Her and my dad managed and owned 2 restaurants from the mid 60's to around 78. But I could never gag down hers or anyone's apple pie. For Christmas my wife makes a great pecan pie. I guess my favorite's are now pumpkin pie made from fresh pumpkin's and my moms shoefly pie (aka molasses pie) and my wife's pecan pie 3rd. I've tried to duplicate my moms shoefly pie's but I can't. She's been gone since 98 so I can't ask for advice. I don't know how she kept the bottom crust flaky, the center chewy, and the top crunchy with the sugary crumble. She made her own crust rather than use frozen ones from the store so I'm guessing that had everything to do with it. Anyway, the pie is gone. It only lasted 2 days. I can feel myself bloating up already. I never eat this kind of stuff anymore except on Thanksgiving and Christmas day. I'm kind of slipping here. It astounds me how I can gain 5lb's in 2 days and it takes 30 days to lose 2lb's. 🙁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Pumpkin pie requires mass amounts of whipped cream. Apple pie requires mass amounts of ice cream. (Just sayin'... 😉 ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigb Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 BTW, I'm blaming this thread in advance of any weight gain I may incur, because I couldn't resist getting a pumpkin pie during a trip to Costco tonight! 😜 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty easy actually. Cut the pumpkins in half, bake for an hour and let cool. You need two cups, 2 eggs, some sugar, a few spices, and that's it. I saved the seeds and roasted them. They were really good too. Sam's Club has a great bakery department. I would imagine Costco does too since they are very similar type stores. I have to avoid that entire section of the store when I go to Sam's. Believe it or not Sam's has really good Sushi too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is that the saying is often misinterpreted to mean that apple pie is as quintessentially American as anything can be, invented by Americans for Americans if you like, where in fact it was something that pre-existed what we know today as America and was something that was brought to America by the people of other nations that settled there, so by saying that something is "as American as apple pie" it's really like saying that it's not really American, that it's origins lie elsewhere. Something like that anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that anyway. I can understand how it could be seen that way. Over here it means it's a big part of our heritage I guess is a good way to put it. If I had to guess I'd say it probably started with John Chapman (Johnny Appleseed) from the 1700's. Nothing to really speak of came from here until well after the country was established. The Shoefly pie I mentioned is an old German recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
