Mamaw’s Apple Pie
It’s been chilly out for the last couple weeks, which by itself is quite lovely. The leaves are starting to change, and I can make pumpkin flavored anything without people looking at me weird. The one bad thing about this time of year is that even though it can get quite cold in the house,…
Read MoreNo-Bake Pumpkin Pie
I recently came into the possession of a copy of Cuisine Magazine that was published in November 1979 – thanks Aunt Anna. This recipe for no-bake pumpkin pie was advertized in it, and looks like it would be pretty good. Ingredients: 1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust 1 envelope Knox unflavored gelatine 1 teaspoon ground…

Read MoreSquash Pie
I finally got around to making a pie out of my canned squash. It turned out pretty well, tho. There are a couple things I would have changed. I would have made two standard sized pies instead of a single deep-dish pie, because I basically overfilled it and had trouble with over-browning the crust to…
Read MoreNever Fail Pie Dough
This is the pie dough recipe I use. I find that it is much flakier if you are willing to use real lard instead of Crisco. You can purchase lard in buckets and sticks at most large groceries. Don’t be concerned if you use your own lard and it has a bacony smell, this bakes…
