By a friend. Yeah.



Raw would probably be the worst. Folder would probably like brown.

Agreed, and we all know Brown would be the sweetest for him, and refined would be the most expensive but unhealthy.

I feel like apple pie is one of those things that gets made ‘just fine’ most of the time as it’s pretty straightforward, but every once in a while you come across one that was made by someone with legit skills and it kicks ass.

My stepmom who was married to my dad for 25 years used to make an apple pie that was amazing before she passed away. She also used to make cobblers and other types of pies or whatever. She always used a bunch of butter and lard in the dough.

Birthday meals if I was around them, I never asked for a cake I would ask her to make a blueberry pie or cobbler or something similar. She would always make an apple pie during Thanksgiving and Christmas and with a big glob of ice cream, I enjoyed it, but it's not my favorite. They were always delicious and it was all recipes that her mother taught her when she was growing up in East Texas.

If I had to pick a particular hot pie, pecan is number one probably because I grew up in New Orleans. Coconut cream if you're going for a cold pie, no meringue, whipped cream only. I can plow through an entire coconut cream pie by myself, and I don't really eat that many sweets but it's so delicious.
