Bubby’s Homemade Pies by Ronald M. Silver and Jen Bervin (John Wiley & Sons, $29.95), was the obvious place to start.” "Almost all the autumn and winter pies in this book could find their way onto my Thanksgiving table.But I wanted one filled with fruit that was easy, and could be made in advance. I tried the whiskey-apple crumble pie, for which the apple slices are sautéed before they are put into the crust and baked, a technique that I have been using for a few years. The requirement that the apples be tart is one to be taken seriously, so the filling will stand up to the sweet crumble topping." To read more from this article go to: The New York Times.

I started making pies in the middle of summer, having never had a pie that I liked in my life.  It seemed like a simple enough thing to do: easy as pie and all that, and the first crust I made came out pretty well.  So I did exactly the same thing the second time but with very different (and disastrous) results.  This was absolutely frustrating, and were it not for the reason that I wanted very much to compete in the New York State Fair and the Pillsbury Bake-Off I may have given up.  After nearly 20 years of pie making, including cooking pies at Bubby’s and making pie for my family, and writing Bubby’s Homemade Pie, I have learned a great deal about the intricacies of the simple pie crust.  There are lots of variables, like heat and humidity (it’s infinitely easier to make pastry when it’s cool out than when it’s hot) to make it a challenge, and a reason to pay attention to the weather. So, as a so-called expert, I have this helpful instructional video on pastry making. If you want to make a pie and worry about the crust, check out the video and it will help you.  Your family will love you! 2007-08-22T13:07:01-05:00
