What is your favorite pie to eat?

[Justice wanted]

My absolute would have to be pecan pie.

[MrMickeysMom]

1. Rhubarb...

Not even with strawberries.

[bluedigger]

2. That reminds me of a cadence from basic training.

"I wish that all the ladies
Were pies on a shelf.
If I was the baker
I'd eat 'em all myself!"



Oh. Key Lime.

[Chipper Chat]

3. Coconut creme - with 2" of merangue on top.

Heaven on earth!

[petronius]

4. IBTL!!!!

(Seriously, my MIL makes a wicked key lime - that's my favorite for both taste and company...)

[Amerigo Vespucci]

25. I clicked on this thread SPECIFICALLY to see if anyone posted "IBTL"...

...thanks for not letting me down.

[petronius]

30. I'm just proud that I got it in before HopeHoops arrived

I bet that dude's double entendre spidey-sense started tingling five minutes before the thread was posted...

[MiddleFingerMom]

5. Humble...

6. Key Lime

I also love pecan pie but I only eat the pecans off it.

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Key Lime also

My absolute favorite pie ever

[kentauros]

15. Try a Pecan Tart then.

There's not so much of the filling, and often the pecans are chopped a bit or smaller ones are used. It makes for a nicer treat to have with coffee or tea

[Justice wanted]

16. hmmmm You just made my craving go up like 10,000 levels. I don't live in the freakin south

so trying to find one is hard.

[kentauros]

20. I have tart pans

and simply used a normal Pecan Pie recipe with a homemade pie crust. I'm not that good at pie crusts, so it shrank from the edges a bit, but overall it was delicious. Plus, I found making a tart is easier than making the pie as sometimes they take longer to cook and set up, and you just have to know when they're ready...

And if you want to have a look, here are some recipe sources/searches for "Pecan Pie" and "Pecan Tart"

Have fun!

[Justice wanted]

24. Thanks will try.

[Odin2005]

7. I love Pecan Pie, too!

[applegrove]

8. Lemon merangue, no blueberry, no cherry. I cannot decide.

[dana_b]

9. apple

since I was a wee child.

[Graybeard]

17. Mom's Apple Pie

Mom would stir together the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, raisins and sometimes pecans. When it was piled into the pie plate and draped with the top crust it looked as high as the Rocky Mountains.

But it all cooked down to a syrupy delight and the crust was light and flaky, just waiting for a large dollop of vanilla ice cream.

Mmmm. And apple pie is still my favorite.

[Angry Dragon]

10. ......................

[HopeHoops]

11. If I answered that honestly, I'd get tombstoned.

[siligut]

18. We are still going to be using the term tombstoned in 2016

And newcomers to DU will have no idea what we are talking about. Maybe the DU glossary will make a comeback, that would be nice.

[HopeHoops]

23. That will be on DU4.

[RedCloud]

33. Once again my fellow traveler

We have linked minds.

[RiffRandell]

32. I know what you were thinking.

It's fine with me----and funny as hell!

[kentauros]

12. I have to categorize them

because there isn't just one I love over the others

For nut pies: Pecan!
For creams pies: Coconut Cream!
For fruit pies: Apple!
For gourd pies: Pumpkin! (although technically, it's a fruit )

[GoCubsGo]

41. That's pretty much my list, too.

Anything with coconut and/or pumpkin in it is my favorite.

[intaglio]

14. In the sacred name of British cooking

Steak and Kidney with a rich suet pastry ...

[zanana1]

54. The British can't cook meat but...

Their pastries can make you gain five pounds a week. Absolutely delicious.

[MrScorpio]

19. Apple pie with thick, flaky crust

Hot, with a topping of French vanilla ice cream

[Myrina]

21. Pumpkin, then Lemon Meringue

Key Lime once in awhile.

[siligut]

22. I can't chose just one

I never developed a favorite, all I know is that it has to be made fresh and made with quality ingredients.

[Carolina]

26. Blueberry

[geardaddy]

27. #2 Minced beef and onion pie

I'm not telling you #1.

[hifiguy]

28. Chocolate chip/whipped cream

My mom got the recipe from our next-door neighbor almost 50 years ago and it is mind-boggling. The filling is melted marshmallows and whipped cream with crushed chocolate chips folded in and the crust is graham cracker. Un-freaking-believable.

Homemade pecan or apple also rock the house.

[gratuitous]

29. There are many contestants

But I'll take a slice of pecan pie, a little scoop of ice cream on the side, and a piping hot cup of coffee. Serve it at the lodge at Multnomah Falls, and I can be one happy gratuitous.

[grasswire]

37. I haven't been there in years.

Are you pining for the view, or the pie there?

[gratuitous]

38. Yes

Multnomah Falls is a lovely place, and we took our volunteer house residents up the trail to the top of the falls last month. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time afterwards to go get a slice of pie.

Mmmmmm. Pecan pie.

One of these days, I'm going have to bicycle out there. That will earn me activity points to offset the pie!

[Moondog]

31. Key Lime. Without a doubt. n/t

[RebelOne]

34. Chocolate cream or pumpkin. n/t

[CherokeeDem]

35. So hard to pick!!!

But....Key Lime (really love the KL's from Publix's bakery...yum), pecan pie, and Derby Pie.

Derby Pie was promoted as THE pie of the Kentucky Derby...and they are quiet expensive...and in fact are really nothing more than a pecan pie with chocolate chips. Decadent.....

[MicaelS]

36. Cherry pie....

Hot or cold.

Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream when it's hot.

[Ikonoklast]

39. The correct answer for this question is "Pie? Yes, please."

I don't really care what kind it is, pie is good.

[marlakay]

40. Lemon Meringue but homemade with fresh lemons!

None of this store stuff….ugh.

After that is my daughters apple pie, wow can my girl bake!!

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

42. Banana Cream or Grasshopper pie

[EmeraldCityGrl]

50. This is the BEST recipe for banana cream pie

I use a chocolate graham cracker crust and whipped cream on top.

Everyone says it's the best they've ever had.

[Broken_Hero]

43. Apple pie, nt

[JoePhilly]

44. To eat ... Boston Creme ... to throw ... lemon meringue.

[Adsos Letter]

45. Warm boysenberry with a scoop of French Vanilla ice cream.

[Kali]

46. yes

or as my wonderful, late Father-in-Law used to say - I like 2 kinds of pie, hot and cold!

[Tikki]

47. A very good berry pie is hard to beat....

Like black raspberry, blackberry or boysenberry. Flaky crust and real whipped cream.


Tikki

[ChoralScholar]

48. Egg Custard

Although, I think it's because my mother told me I wouldn't like it, and I was determined to prove her wrong.

Egg Custard FTW!

[JBoy]

49. Apple Pie. With some thinly shaved sharp cheddar cheese on the side.

[Lasher]

51. Pink Slime Pie

Don't knock it till you've tried it.

[Son of Gob]

52. Pumpkin is my fav.

Strawberry pie is also very good.

[zanana1]

53. Warm peach pie...

with vanilla ice cream on top. Nothing in the world tastes better.

[DFW]

55. You beat me to it!

Although I prefer my peach pie with a little cinnamon and the ice cream optional.

[elana i am]

56. 3 way tie between

blackberry, cherry and banana cream
