National Homemade Pie Day !

From National Today.com

Homemade Pie Day is held every year on August 1. It’s a day to celebrate pie, a dish that has existed since the era of the ancient Egyptians. Pies have featured in one form or another in several cultures around the world, from the ancient Greeks to the Romans to the British and eventually, the Americans. Today, pie has become a symbol of American life. It can be eaten as a meal, as a dessert, or as a snack.

Any good homemade pie recipies out there ? Please Share and enjoy your pie ! I don't make any pies so a good recipe would be great !

Italians eat a lot of pie. Here in the U.S. it’s called pizza.

@ECBG well, when i make it, i end up eating breakfast , lunch and dinner because i love it so much. It can be a main or a side to a fancy dinner. I never really thought about that.

Depending on the store i go to, ive used regular red and yellow tomatoes with halved cherry heirlooms in the different colors filllng in gaps. You can use your summer tomatoes up and just use those for a more casual pie. Its still YUM.

Ive also subbed asiago for the manchego depending on the prices.

Ive read reviews where some people use refrigerated pie dough. I BEG you dont do that because to me the crust is the best part of this one.IMO.

I saw it on the cover of their magazine like 15 years ago and had to make it, never having made a pie in my life lol

Oh man, I have not made tomato pie in a long while. The Southern tomato pie by Vivian Howard has quite a few steps, but man is it tasty.

My mother's recipe for lemon meringue pie, my husband's favorite dessert:

Filling:

1 1/4 cups sugar

2 tbsp flour

3 1/2 tbsp cornstarch

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups water

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 tbsp butter

4 egg yolks

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 tsp lemon extract

Whisk sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt in saucepan. Stir in water, lemon juice, and lemon extract over heat until coming to a boil. Stir in butter.

Beat egg yolks in bowl and slowly whisk in 1/2 cup hot mixture. Whisk egg yolk mixture back into saucepan. Cook on low while stirring until thick, about 15 minutes.

Pour into baked pie shell.

Meringue:

4 egg whites

6 tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 tsp vanilla

Whip egg whites with electric mixer until foamy, about 2 mins. Whip in cream of tartar and vanilla. Slowly add sugar and whip to form stiff peaks, about 15 minutes. Spread on top of filling to cover to edges of crust.

Bake in 350 degree oven until meringue is golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Cool for 1 hour, then refrigerate before serving.

My favorite pie is old fashioned chocolate pie my grandma used to make

Chocolate Pie

1 baked pie crust , cooked

1 cup sugar
3 tbsp cocoa
5 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 tsp salt
2 egg yolks, well beaten ( save egg whites for meringue if desired)
3 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla

Mix sugar , cocoa , salt and flour into top of double boiler ( or heavy saucepan , watching closely) mix well with whisk to remove lumps , gradually whisk in the milk stirring well , add the egg yolks mixing well well
Bring to a boil stirring constantly until it thickens , add butter stir well take off heat , add vanilla
Place in pie crust

My family doesn’t like meringue we just top with whipped cream

Meringue

2 egg whites ( room temperature)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
6 tbsp sugar

Beat egg whites with vanilla and cream of tartar until soft peaks form gradually add the sugar beating well until stiff and glossy
Top pie with meringue sealing to the edges
Bake at 350 for 12/15 mins or until meringue is golden brown

Let Cool before serving

@ECBG

It depends on which dessert. Dolce is the word for dessert in general.

My mother didn't really like to cook, but she did like to bake pies. We had cherry trees, seemed like I spent half my summers pitting those cherries. . . Anyway, I grew up eating two crust fruit pies. As I kid, I claimed coconut cream pie as my favorite, but honestly it would be easier to name my least favorite pie (pecan & gooseberry). As an adult, I love 'em all but now claim BLACKBERRY PIE as my favorite, followed by, cherry, fresh strawberry, lemon, coconut, apple, rhubarb, peach, blueberry, pumpkin, Dutch apple, etc. I have never purchased premade pie crust, and think lard is the secret to a delicious/flaky crust. Fresh or frozen fruit makes the best pies and I use tapioca as a fruit thickening agent.

Does anyone have a recipe for egg custard pie? My mother made it, but alas no recipe.

While I wasn't much of a fan, my brother loves it. I would love to be able to make one for him. I know I can find recipes on line, but hoping someone here may have a tried and true old recipe that have been passed down.
