When I have a chance to bake, which isn't often, I tend to go, um, how shall I say this? A wee bit overboard.
Take yesterday, for example. I was in charge of the Thanksgiving pies. I baked four - for eight people.
Yes, I know, one would have sufficed. But FIL loves pecan pie (lower right - it's not burned, though it looks like it in the photo), so I always make one for him. And BIL's favorite is cherry; this year I decided to fancy it up a bit and make a lattice top crust.
I've never made an apple pie, and this year I was determined to do it. I use store-bought crusts, because I'm not that into making dough, but I made the filling from scratch, with three different kinds of apples. (I read a tip in a magazine that using a variety of apples gives it more flavor.) I tried to press a design into the top crust, and that didn't turn out so well. Next year, I want to copy a pie crust I saw in a magazine that used cookie cutters to cut apples and leaves from dough and then added those to the top crust; first, I have to find apple and leaf cookie cutters.
And then of course it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a pumpkin pie (in this case with a pecan strudel on top), so that made a total of four.
But the good thing is, we left about 90 percent of them over at my in-laws, so the pies will stick to their waistlines more than ours!
