Tick… tick… tick… That’s the timer ticking down to Thanksgiving, and you know what that means: pie.
How are your pie crust skills?
Are you roll, roll, rolling your own — or unrolling one from the supermarket?
If the latter, our November Apple Pie Bakealong will give you the confidence (and step-by-step instructions) you need to make homemade pie start to finish — including the crust.
Pumpkin and apple vie for top spots on the pie chart at Americans’ Thanksgiving tables.
And while pumpkin pie can be pretty formulaic, apple pie is a great opportunity to express your creativity.
Which apples do you use?
What spices?
Is vanilla extract your secret filling ingredient, or do you add a couple of slugs of heavy cream (or boiled cider)?
And then there’s the top crust.
Do you cover your filling with an artistically slashed solid crust, or weave a lattice?
Maybe you’ve developed a special crimping technique, or you decorate your pie’s top with intricately fashioned pastry apples and leaves.
Whatever your skill level, apple pie is a super opportunity to get imaginative.
And our Apple Pie Bakealong encourages you to share your pie with the world! Take a photo, tag it with #bakealong, and post.
