Pie-Baking Essentials

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Pie season! I love making pies, especially with homemade crust. I always have a few balls of pie dough in the freezer ready to be made into pies. Apple, pumpkin, chocolate, berry, ice cream, chess — you name it and I probably love it.

And you should love it too. Making pie from scratch is not as hard as it sounds. I always make my pie crusts from Martha Stewart’s basic påte brisée recipe and I knead it in a bowl with my pastry blender. You have to do some planning to make it in advance enough, or you can just keep it in the freezer until you need it like I do. Making pies takes patience and practice! (For bonus points, you can make your own ice cream to go with your holiday pies. Here’s everything you need to make homemade homemade ice cream!)
