I really do love pecan pie. It is my favorite thanksgiving pie. I like pumpkin. And I like apple. I particularly like my apple cranberry pie, which I also made this year with the help of my niece (My niece and I made both pies together this year).

I am not going to lie – I have never been a huge fan of Pop Tarts. I went through a short phase during which they intrigued me in my first year of college, but I’m pretty sure that came from my amazement that I could eat whatever I want, given that I no longer lived under my parents’ roof.

Apple pie is delicious always. Well, unless it’s bad. But I do love apple pie.

It comes from “The Best Recipe,” a Cook’s Illustrated Cook Book. It’s a great cookbook – they went through and tested the recipes a number of different ways. Then they print the best.
