Apple Crumb Pie with the Landlords

I did it! I moved temporarily to Boston and figured out how to make great pie here too! I am thanking my lucky stars that I have another gas oven to work with here. Cheers to supreme even baking! It looks like I brought enough of my essential pie gear with me: apron, rolling mat, pie weights, crust guard, 2 pie dishes, and a Tupperware container that can house an entire pie. As I mentioned in the last post, I also borrowed my mom's food processor (which works better than the one I left in MD so I will likely have a hard time giving it back) and I have been having a high time using full wine bottles to roll out my crust. This Apple Crumb Pie crust was rolled out by a nice bottle of Australian Shiraz and was shared with our lovely landlords upstairs.

Dad's Birthday Hodgepodge Pie 2018

Another pie successfully baked in a vacation rental! Luckily I thought to pack my rolling mat in my minivan with the rest of my earthly possessions as we make our way to our new temporary home in Boston. I was also able to pilfer a nice food processor from my mom's house around the corner to make the crust. I forgot a rolling pin though, so I am rocking the wine bottle method right now. This Peachberry Pie made for my #1 pie fan's birthday came out great! The recipe is pretty similar to the instructions I gave for this one, just add whatever hodgepodge of berries looks good and is on sale at the store.

Matt's Strawberry Rhubarb Bday Pie 2018

We had a couple obnoxious number candles lying around from the kids' birthdays so I jazzed this one up this year. As always, I made the traditional Strawberry Rhubarb Pie for the husband's birthday and it was super tasty!
