Holiday Pie from McDonald's
[Photograph: mrinconspicuous] Mrinconspicuous on LiveJournal says: "...what it ends up tasting like is a mushy sugar cookie wrapped around a liquefied, gelatinous sugar cookie, with a flavor like if someone made an entire pie out of white cake frosting." In conclusion, I'd totally try it. [via BuzzFeed]...Video: How to Make Charles Phoenix's Cherpumple, the Monster Pie-Cake
It was only a matter of time before somebody would come along with the dessert version of turducken, and that somebody was Charles Phoenix. Already known for his kitschy pop culture humor, Phoenix here creates a monster of a three-layered dessert where each layer (CHERry, PUMpkin, and apPLE pie) is also baked inside a cake mix (white, yellow, and spice, respectively). Judging by the faces of the mechanics who got to try a freshly-baked Cherpumple (fresh from a pink vintage stove at The Antique Stove Shop in Ventura, California) it's sure worth a try. And if one of those pie flavors just ain't your thing, think of all the possibilities—like Cherpumpbarb (with rhubarb!).

"As the only Serious Eats blogger in the contest, I had to represent." My Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie entry. Click here for the recipe » I've only been blogging for a few months now, so I was very surprised when Bon Appétit invited me to take part in their first ever Blog Envy Bake-Off on December 10. The first place prize was an all expenses paid trip to Las Vegas for the magazine's Vegas Uncork'd festival. Some of the other competition. To be totally honest, I didn't think I had any chance of winning. I felt like Anne Hathaway going up against Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, and Meryl Streep for Best Actress at last year's Academy Awards. Sure, I was...Video: 'Sky Full of Bacon' Goes Behind the Scenes at Hoosier Mama in Chicago
If you're not in the mood for pie, you will be after watching Michael Gebert's latest episode of Sky Full of Bacon that takes us behind the scenes at Chicago's beloved pie shop Hoosier Mama. Owner Paula Haney and her staff make pies the old fashioned way with all-butter crusts filled with local, seasonal ingredients, and revive recipes from the 19th and early 20th-century (oatmeal pie, anyone?). Haney talks about how she started the business, how she makes pie, and her thoughts about the pie lifestyle. Watch the video after the jump....Pumpkin Pie Alternatives for Thanksgiving
[Photograph: Robyn Lee] The canned-pumpkin shortage is worse than originally predicted. If you were going to use this ingredient in your Thanksgiving pie this year but can't find it, we've come up with a list of alternative pies that don't use pumpkin. Why not try one of them this Thanksgiving? We give you 40 pumpkin-free recipes to consider (after the jump), but first, here's our favorite pie crust recipe: Cook's Illustrated's Foolproof Pie Dough. [Special @jaydeflix/simon addendum: You can always roast fresh pumpkins for your pumpkin pie—if you can find them; heavy rain this year has negatively affected pumpkin crops in parts of the U.S. Alternatively, Carri points out, "You can also use cooked butternut squash or yams in...That's Nuts: The Easiest Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Pie
Note: Lee Zalben, a.k.a. "the Peanut Butter Guy" is the creator of the Peanut Butter & Co., a New York sandwich shop with a national line of nut butters. Every week he chimes in with some nuttiness. [Photographs: Lee Zalben] Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Pie View the complete recipe here » Even though they call me the Peanut Butter Guy, which sounds like a rather salt-of-the-earth position, but I'll be honest. I can be a bit of a food snob. Don't get me wrong, I love diners, street food, penny candy, and all sorts of simple fare. But when I cook and bake, it's mostly from scratch. When I develop product recipes with my team at Peanut Butter & Co.,...Video: Chez Pim's Super Easy Pie or Tart Dough
"Everybody should have a go-to pie dough or tart dough that they do in their sleep," says Pim Techamuanvivit (aka Chez Pim), who recently came out with a cookbook called The Foodie Handbook. Here she shows us her go-to, which really does look ridiculously easy. Making a pie crust from scratch always sounds intimidating but this approach is more like playing with Play Doh that happens to turn into a deliciously flaky, buttery crust. (And you can do it straight on the countertop. No bowl required.) Pim finishes it off with frangipagne (she blends the almonds herself, avoiding almond meal) and fruit for a rustic galette. Become a pie dough expert in four minutes, after the jump....Do You Like Eating Pie Crust By Itself?
Just add filling. And then remove it. [Photograph: Robyn Lee] Well, not totally by itself. I asked this question because when I eat fruit-filled pies with my mom, she'll forgo the filling, but eat the crust with gusto. "Why don't you eat the filling?" I asked. "It's too sweet! I like the crust more." I apparently need to get or make my mom a pie with filling that isn't swimming in sugar. She isn't content with eating a crust on its own; she likes it to have that slick of sweetness from the gooey filling. She'll buy a pie from a reputable bakery or supermarket just to eat the goo-enhanced crust. When I told her that most people like...Taste Test: Frozen Apple Pies
We're not big on frozen pies, but we tried six of them anyhow: Marie Callenders, Sara Lee, Mrs. Smith's, Vermont Mystic, Amy's, and Wholly Wholsome. Did any of them taste like grandma's? Eh, maybe a couple. Others definitely did not. Check out our results.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
