Pie! Pie! Pie!


In case you still haven't listened to me...In case you don't hate pie...In case you like things buttery and sugary and flaky...


Listen up!! Crust Bakery has won the best pie in a state-wide pie contest with over 240 entries.  For reals.  So, if you've never ordered Stephanie's apple pie, get to gettin'.  Or, at least, read about her success last weekend, here, here and here.  Congratulations, Stephanie!

Pie Shots


So, I was lucky enough to sit down with the owner and founder of Crust Bakery, Stephanie (website, here).  She has been an incredible influence in my baking endeavors.  During our conversation, I mentioned that my dessert posts tend to get the most interest...hello, people love sweets.
Stephanie mentioned that sharing food is one of the reasons she started her bakery in the first place.  So, she and I concocted a great way to share one of the most recent desserts I tried - Danger Pie (so good, it's dangerous...yup, that's right).  Portable, portion-sized and easy to share...Stephanie suggested Pie Shots!


So, I had leftover cans from the kumquat canning experiment and this was a quick solution to use them.


Did you know Nilla Wafers came in minis?  I didn't, but boy do I now!
