Yes, it is "Pie Making Central" around here today! We're doing Thanksgiving with Ry's family this year and since I'm not having to make anything else except pies, I decided to put out all the stops. I'm making 3 pies this year: Deep Dish Caramel Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, and my favorite Chocolate Whipped Pie. Last year I had such a hard time making my pie crusts from scratch. I did it all by hand and cut the butter in with a pastry cutter, but it just wouldn't hold right. I made about 4 batches and only 1 turned out. Kind of discouraging, but this year I have my brand new cuisinart that makes things 10 times better and easier! The blades cut the frozen butter into the flour evenly. It came together quite nicely and rolled out very well. I only made enough to do a bottom and top for my apple pie so I did the boxed crusts for the pumpkin and chocolate. I didn't want to waste my time making a ton of pie dough if it was just going to turn out bad. The recipes will all be on the recipe blog, Two Moms In The Kitchen so head over there to check them out. I'll post some pictures so you can check out my work. I hope they taste as good as they look!
