Happy Tuesday! I’m a day late for our Foodie Freebie this week so my apologies. I haven’t been feeling well and it’s been challenging to post these days. I hope you can bare with me and hopefully I’ll be back to my normal self soon. So let’s just jump in and find out what I’m giving away this week!
With the holidays fast approaching, a dessert I look forward to enjoying is pie. It seems pie is a popular treat this time of year. I’d love to help a reader have some memorable pie this year with this week’s giveaway – a beautiful 9 inch pie plate and a great pie cookbook filled with 300 tried and true pie recipes!
Red glazed exterior and cream interiorOven to table design
Microwave, freezer, oven and dishwasher safe.
No, that number’s not a typo: here are 300 recipes for sweet pies, with fillings ranging from fruits to nuts, ice cream to custard. Haedrich, a cooking teacher and cookbook author (Apple Pie Perfect, etc.), shares an astonishing quantity of recipes, advice, pie history and musings on issues such as the butter vs. lard debate and his passion for sour cherries. His zeal and solid expertise make this book a worthy addition to the baker’s bookshelf. There are 57 pages of information on pie crusts alone, but Haedrich’s tone is clear and encouraging, as he addresses pie pans, rolling pins, pastry edges and more. The recipes range from All-Rhubarb Pie to more exotic offerings such as Watermelon Rind Pie and Carrot Custard Pie (Haedrich also includes 25 recipes for apple pie). Pie snobs, take note: each crust recipe gives instructions for making the pastry by hand, with an electric mixer or in a food processor. Similarly, Haedrich assures readers it’s all right to use frozen fruit. Intrepid pie makers will be pleased with the recommendations throughout for other cookbooks and magazines, and the list of resources includes useful information on baker’s catalogues, fruit farms and nut growers.

My absolute favorite pie is the traditional deep dish apple pie served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream… heaven on a plate.
Pecan Pie is my favorite!
My favorite kind of pie depends on the time of year. Apple pie in the spring/summer and pumpkin pie in the fall/winter…both with a big old scoop of vanilla ice cream!
I hope you're feeling better soon.
My favorite pie is probably apple pie, although mixed berry takes a VERY close second place.
Yum! What a great giveaway! My favorite pie is definitely peach…no contest.
Strawberry Rhubarb pie… yum
Hang in there Joelen. I'm sure you'll be feeling better in no time! 🙂

My favorite is triple layer mud pie! It looks impressive, and it's so easy to make. Not to mention the fact that it's so yummy!
I absolutely love pie! My faves are sweet potato, pumpkin and apple crumb. I would like to make a cherry crumb one. Maybe I can if I win this!
No contest: my dad's butterscotch pecan pie. I didn't even start eating pecan pie until I was in my early 20's. I'm sorry to have missed out on it for so long!
There are two that I really love. Banana cream and peach, yum! Maybe I'll make a peach pie this weekend!
I love dutch apple pie but a close second is peanut butter pie.

Dutch apple with a crumb topping and home made vanilla ice cream. I could probably eat the whole thing by myself.

My favorite pie is just classic apple. I have it for my birthday 'cake' every year!

I used to say I liked any kind of pie but pumpkin and lemon meringue. Then my mother-in-law served 3 kinds of pie for Thanksgiving. Pecan, Coconut Cream and Pumpkin. Eek! I don't like nuts or coconut, so I was up a creek without a paddle. Now I say I like any but those four.
Apple crumb is my favorite, but I would love to start experimenting some more with "unusual" kinds.
Its a toss up between cherry and pumpkin.
My absolute favorite is Dutch Apple. I am wild about streusel topping.

It's probably a tie between peach and a nice traditional deep dish apple pie! But I'm a sucker for just about any fruit pie or cream pie… or a good pecan! You get the idea, I'm not too choosy : )
I particularly like a pie that has the combination of sweet and savory – such as pears and garlicky goat and Gruyere cheese with peppery seasoning and plenty of love.
I love, love, LOVE blueberry pie! My absolute fave! Runner up is sweet potato pie.
Apple Crumb…. YUM!

It's honestly a toss-up between pecan pie and egg custard pie (but only my great-grandmother's recipe)… Yum!
A peach-blueberry pie brings back fond memories, but I have to say I really miss my grandmothers apple-tomato pie, sounds crazy but the best apple pie that I have ever had!
I have fond memories of a peach blueberry pie. My grandmother made the best apple-tomato pie. Yum!

My fave pie is pumpkin!
Pear Gruyere Pie – My own invention based on the late great TV show all about pie, Pushing Daisies! It's like apple, but so light and tasty.
Mmmmm….mincemeat. And my husband hates it, which means I HAVE to eat a lot of pie. Tough job, but I do it!

My favorite pie is pecan pumpkin pie, because it combines two of my favorites!
I'm a pie lover, so it's hard to choose just 1 favorite, but I guess it would have to be blackberry pie.
Chocolate Raspberry Pecan Custard Pie — the pie that came to me in a dream and is now my birthday not-cake of choice.
My grandmother made coconut creme pie that was so wonderful … she never even used a recipe. How I wish she had written it down now, she's been gone for 13 years, I miss her and her wonderful cooking.
