…is not about making or buying the pie crust, but what do you put in it? As usual, I’m responsible for two pies for Thanksgiving this year; one has to be pecan (unless I want to be disinherited). Pumpkin, sadly, is not an option, since there will be anti-pumpkin family members present. The second choice is traditionally Dutch apple. Maybe peach this year? I do have 50lbs of peaches that aren’t eating themselves…
Since this seems to be a favourite topic: what’s your favourite kind?
My mum is particularly fond of making apple-based desserts, then making fun of my husband, son and I for being cannibals. We don’t really eat pies though.

What sort of Communists don’t like pumpkin pie??!!
My personal favorite is rhubarb.
If there’s no pumpkin, I don’t have another answer for you.

Um. … Um. … Uh … … … pumpkin.
I tried my best to answer something else.
I know, I know. But I am inclined to put up with small flaws like that considering that they put up with my giant neuroses (honestly, they’re far nicer to me then I deserve). That being said: the pecan pie could be considered the anti-pumpkin choice, right? So I might just go ahead and make pumpkin pie, even
especiallyif Mike and I are the only ones who eat it.My preference is cherry pie, but it isn’t Thanksgiving without pumpkin! And that is all there is to that.

I confess…I don’t like pumpkin pie either. I like pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins (pretty much bread only baked into a muffin), pumpkin donuts, pumpkin whoopie pies filled with cream cheese frosting, even pumpkin fudge…but not pie. Oh, or ice cream either.
Honestly, aside from pork pie, I’m not a big fan of pie. With the exception of chocolate pudding pie, topped with Cool Whip with a graham cracker crust.
Rhubarb pie is probably my favourite, but apple is the classic fall pie. Can’t really go wrong there.
My French Canadian mother-in-law makes a divine sugar pie with maple syrup. Nom! I don’t actually LOVE pumpkin pie, either… Oh – and if I’m buying a pie from the farm market up the road, I invariably pick raspberry.
It does seem wise to use some of your peaches, though…
