Cook the Book: Paul's Fantasy Pie With Biscuit Bowl Crust

Posted by Adam Kuban, October 16, 2007

In John T. Edge's Apple Pie: An American Story the author introduces us to a number of pie bakers, among them Dora Leung, whose piecrust recipe is kind of a "drop crust" and which "does not rely upon chilled ingredients or exacting measurements." Perfect for inexact bakers.

In one of the book's chapters, Leung's pie represents for one man, Paul Myers, a sort of platonic ideal of apple pies. Edge deftly tells Myers and Leung's story while extracting a recipe that readers can test at home against their own ideal pie.
