Does anyone else love Apple Pie?

I just had the best slice of apple pie ever. It was like apple pie baked by the Lorde Jesus Christ. Yum. Yum. Yum.

• I realize that you just want to discuss apple pie, but next time you start a thread like this please title it "Who else loves apple pie?" or "Let's talk about apple pie." Otherwise you sound like a moron.

• Thanks for the report, Dean.

• Apple pie does not need capitalization. Lord does not have a final "e."

• Nevermind these bitches, OP. I do love a good slice of apple pie. It's the all-American dessert.

• OP you sound both fat an religious. Skip the pie and go for a walk.

• Easy to make at home, OP, if you have the sense to buy a premade crust. Other than that, there's not much to it but chopping apples and adding seasonings. And gaining weight, of course.

• [quote]if you have the sense to buy a premade crust. Ina Garten would NEVER approve of this!

• Especially FRENCH apple pie.

• People who love apple pie have never tried a pear pie. Sehr gut!

• Apple pie remains my favorite pie ever (followed closely by chess). But... it [bold]has[/bold] to be homemade and it [bold]has[/bold] to use less sugar than called for. I can't stand an overly doctored pie where you can't even taste the natural sweetness of the apples. (Un)Fortunately, this means I am restricted to eating pie made by my mother or my sister.

• I've never had pear pie. What is pear pie?

• Pear pie calls for baking pears in place of apples. My grandmother had a pear tree in the back yard and made us pear pies.

• Damn you, damn you to hell, op.

• I prefer cherry pie, if you know what I'm sayin'. Just to be perfectly clear, I'm using "cherry pie" as a euphemism for pussy. Sweet, sweet pussy.

• Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise...

• A good pear pie will have ginger as the principal seasoning, instead of the cinnamon found in any good apple pie.

• I don't like cherry pie at all, I like apple and pumpkin.

• Ahhh poor jani lane

• Sweet potato pie is the bomb.

• Ah luvs it, OP! Ah luvs it so much, ah have fahv er six whole epple pahs jes' at one sittin' sometahms.

• I cheer for apple pie, America, and a hot lunch for orphans.

• An apple pie without some cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze.

• I love R22.

• I don't eat any pies, tarts, jelly donuts, fruitcakes or turnovers. I do not like pastry with fruit in it. I like pastry and I like fruit, but do not like them together.

• How fascinating, R25. Bet you're a blast at parties.

• True Confessions: I eat pie with a spoon. I love the filling but dislike most crusts, especially if they're made with lard or shortening. The spoon enables me to get all of the filling, crust free.

• [quote]True Confessions: I eat pie with a spoon. Stop the fucking presses!

• Anyone have a recipe for a really amazing apple pie? I'm willing to do whatever work is involved, but I want it to be truly spectacular.

• [quote]I don't eat any pies, tarts, jelly donuts, fruitcakes or turnovers. I do not like pastry with fruit in it. I like pastry and I like fruit, but do not like them together. I like pie but feel the same way about citrus fruits in any dessert. Love them individually but not together.

• [quote]I like pie but feel the same way about citrus fruits in any dessert. Love them individually but not together. Even Key Lime pie?

• No, but I love the Apple Pan. LA'ers know what I mean.

• I didn't know Jesus was a baker.

• I love pear pie. Apple is okay but I adore blackberry and peach pies or cobblers.

• Ginger is vile.

• [quote]Ginger is vile. There you go again, with your insane prejudice against redheads!

• I like my apple pie with lots of crust. Try this one: Crusty Apple Pie

• [quote]Even Key Lime pie? Especially Key Lime pie. Ish, can't stand it, especially when it has meringue on it. Can't stand meringue either. Christ, do I sound like a fusspot. Really not, its just that Key Lime pie happens to hit on two things I dislike.

• Out of all the fruit pies, apple is at the bottom of my list. OTOH, I can easily sit down and eat an entire can of cherry pie filling and not feel guilty about it.

• Apple Pan Dowdy, perhaps?

• Take off your hat, Sir, there's a tear-stained eagle passing.

• OMG! Apple has a new pie? CAN I PREORDER IT OR DO I HAVE TO STAND IN LINE AT THE MALL???????? I don't care what it's like! I've got to have one!!

• Try apple pie at Gettysburg 'neath that great Triumphal Arch!

• OP, thank you for reminding me that it's caramel apple season. I'm going to pick a few up after work today.

• On the hill at Waterloo...

• Pear Tarte Tatin made with red Anjou or Bosc pears --- mmmmm. : )) Apple schmapple!

• Chobani Greek Yogurt makes a very yummy Apple Cinnamon flavor! It's only 140 calories...very good, OP!

• What sort of cheese would one eat with one's apple pie?

  Unfamiliar%20with%20this%20custom.

• A slice of cheddar on top.

• A nice sharp cheddar, R50. I love apple pie but pear is even better. The best apple pie I ever ate turned out to be pear.

• OMG, some of you are brutal!! Thanks for starting this hilarious thread, OP. I do love apple pie, especially the kind with the crumble on top. I forget what that's called. And there is nothing like a piece of good cheddar on top of a warm slice of apple pie. Damn good stuff.

• My favorite is blueberry, if you're asking (and I know you're not, but ...)

• Try apple pie with a crust that has cheddar cheese added to the dough.

• "I do love apple pie, especially the kind with the crumble on top" The best local pie place calls it "Dutch apple" pie. They also make a "French apple" with a sort of buttery bread crumb mixture on top. It's nice to have a fab local pie place.

• I'm with the people here who don't especially care for apple pie. Mainly because it's so seldom prepared well, despite the many recipes and types. I'll take peach, cherry, rhubarb, or blackberry over apple any day.

• Does anyone remember Gorky's Russian Cafe in downtown L.A.? Here is their apple pie recipe, which should satisfy r29.

• Use ice cold vodka instead of water for perfect crust. Also, use a mix of apple varieties.

• R50, dick cheese

• I agree about the vodka, R59. Cider vinegar works well too -- both inhibit gluten production, for a more tender crust that's very easy to work with.

• Why would I ever make my own crust, someone else makes it and I buy it at the store. It's such a pain to make crust.

• R62, when you have time & are in the mood to bake, making your own pie crust can be very satisfying. You can mix it up when convenient, freeze discs wrapped in Saran, then thaw & roll out when you need them. And using vodka or vinegar does make the dough really easy to handle, so the process is much less difficult. A woven lattice top crust is fun to make & it shows off the beautiful fruit.

• I'd marry the man who could make a decent raspberry pie. Not too sweet, and not too runny, and served warm with ice cream.
