My mother-in-law is the ultimate pie queen! She literally bakes at least 10 varieties of pie each Thanksgiving. There are two pies for each of the popular pie flavors. In total, she delivers to the table approximately 15 pies. All made by ONE WOMAN!! Seated at the table are 30 of my husbands closest family members. It is NUTS!...and scrumptious...
Pictured above is the pie selection from 2013. I realize a tad outdated. The excitement surrounding the pies takes over and I often forget about the photo op! Rest assured, most years are at least this diverse.
Starting at the top and going clockwise... APPLE PIE with homemade caramel sauce AND homemade whipped cream if it suits your fancy. These toppings, of course, are available for any of your pie selections. How many selections may you have you might ask? Well, certainly as many as you wish my dear...Let's continue...CRANBERRY TORTE with an Oreo crust, UPSIDE DOWN PUMPKIN (always a favorite), LEMON MERINGUE, KEY LIME, BLUEBERRY, PUMPKIN and PECAN.
Thanksgiving of 2019 I will be making 3 of the pies... Key Lime, French Silk, Chocolate Caramel Sea Salt Ice Cream Cake. I love baking! Pies are fun! Can I live up the challenge? Stay tuned...
